VPN to a Windows Network - can't connect to server using RDC

I'm trying to connect to my office's windows network.
I can connect using Cisco VPN but can't when I try to Connect to Server when specifying AFP or SMB as the path. I was told SMB is not supported and that I should just be able to use RDC once the VPN is established. RDC however is not connecting for me either. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thnx

Check your System Preference settings under sharing,
if your firewall is on it may cause issues. Turn it
off and see if that solves it for you. If not make
sure you're using the latest client (4.9).
Hi. Problem occurs with and without firewall on. I'm using Cisco VPN 4.9 too. I've been able to use RDC before which is weird. I'm not sure, but ever since the last Apple Security Update last week...I have been having this problem. But I'm not ruling out anything the IT dept. may be doing. :\

Can't connect to server using a regular app

Tried to open a regular news app and does not let me connect. cant't connect to server, retry. I deleted it and added it again and still have the samek problem. My husband has an ipad 3 and not having the same problem, why? please help!

Hello Marysol,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your news app.
First, I recommend resetting your network settings on your iPad:
Reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
If you are still not able to connect, I recommend following the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Can't connect to server using hostname

I have an Apache server running on my MacBook Pro and am able to connect to it's website using localhost just fine. I have 3 clients on the internal LAN that I am testing connection with: 2 MacBook Pros and 1 iPhone. The iPhone and one of the other computers can connect to the server's website using the hostname i.e. http://hostname/ however the last MBPro cannot connect with hostname. It can only connect using ip address. Any suggestions on what's why the last computer can't resolve the hostname?
I'm using safari as my browser and all 3 MBPros are running 10.6.7.

When you say hostname, do you mean hostname.local? or is it a FQDNS?
if your talking about a local host name did you try adding the .local to the end?
If it's FQDNS:
Have you tried Resetting the DNS cache? You can do so by opening terminal in utilites and typing "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache"
If that doesn't fix the issue, have you checked to make sure the DNS on the effected computer is the same as the other computers?

VPN via NetExtender OK but can't connect to server. Help!

Hi All,
I am a new Mac convert and I have completely fallen in love with Mac. I just purchased a MacBook Air and I am running OS X 10.7.2.
I have setup my Mac to access shared network drives at the office while physically in the office. I also have been able to successfully remote into a small workstation I have for running some funky billing software with no problems. All while phyiscally in my office.
Now, I have installed Sonicwall NetExtender SSL-VPN client ver. 5.5.707. I can connect to my office network OK with NetExtender. However, I cannot access the shared drives or remote into my small workstation via NetExtender. What am I missing here?
Again, when I am local and in my office, I can use my Mac and connect to everything in my office no problem. But I cannot do so when traveling and trying to connect via Sonicwall NetExtender. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Emilio,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Do you have an account set up with your ISP? If so, you might be able to use the SMTP provided by your ISP, instead of the smtp.mac.com.
However, if your ISP is merely blocking the use of Port 25 (as many now do), try changing the Port to 587. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=166743
More info, please.

IMac G5 VPN to Corporate Windows Network

I am using Cisco VPN Client to connect to my company's Windows network in hopes of remote desktop access. I am able to connect to the network but when put in the IP address to my desktop PC at work, I am unable to connect to it (using Windows Remote Desktop for Mac.). Any ideas on what I can do? Does anyone know if it is possible for a Mac to do this?

Check your System Preference settings under sharing,

off and see if that solves it for you. If not make

Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on. My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required. When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password. The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP. Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products. I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.

Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp on W2K12 RDS, but Windows 7 can connect. Why?

Hi!
Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp (W2K12 RDS), but Windows 7 can connect. Why?
External and internal DNS name is different, the public Cert is mapped to RD Web Access and a RD GateWay Role.
The internal cert (issued by enterprise ca) is mapped to RD Connection Broker roles (SSO and Publishing).
These certifications also be installed on client computers (Personal and Trusted Root Certification Authorities).
The internal CA revocation list is publicated to a website and this web site is accessible from internet. Ports (3389,3391,443) forwarded to RDS server.
On windows 7 everything works fine, but Windows 8 can not connect to Remote Apps. Windows 8 can connect to RDS server via Remote Desktop Connection.
The error:

My iMac 5.1 with Windows XP can't connect with Time Capsule

The iMac can connect with Mac OS but not with Win XP.
Can see the signal, but can't connect.

The TC uses names that are not SMB compatible by default.
Change all names.. TC itself and wireless if you use it to short.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security with passkey of 8-12 characters and same rules.. no spaces pure alphanumeric.

I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server but I can use iTunes online store. Isn't that strange? Any ideas why?
I use static ip-adresses on my home network with a WEP 128bit security. I have entered all configuration that I enter under tcp/ip properties on my but there is one property on the touch that I don't recognise from my PC and that is someting that translated could be named "Search Domains". It's the last property under the static wireless config tab.

I have no idea what I am doing... but once i changed the proxy (HTTP) my life is just miserable, no sites open, like its really annoying. Do you know how to fix it.

Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"

Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
Here are the particulars:
This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
"home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB
Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MB

Let's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.1
Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
Apply now. Good luck.
Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.

Outgoing mail can't connect to server after update

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?

Safari can't connect to server with parental controls on

I have one user with admin rights and one user plus guest with parental controls turned on. Recently when parental controls are turned on, I get 'safari can't connect to server' error. When I turn parental controls off again I can connect to the internet again. Why is this?

Hi and welcome....
Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

"Can't connect to server" Error

I'm using a 24" iMac running 10.6.7 and I keep getting a "can't connect to server" error with Safari for certain websites. While I could have posted this topic under the Safari section, the problem is not Safari. I tested other web browsers on my iMac (Firefox and IE) and still got an error. I did all the trouble shooting like: empty cache, reset safari, cookies, proxies, /index.html. Now, I was thinking it could be my router, but I am able to access those websites through my iPhone and my iPhone is connected to my wireless router. So I figured the problem is with my iMac settings.
Websites trying to view:

Any help?

Hi Opti1CS,
Welcome to the forums!
Have you tried a clear the DNS cache?
I found that I switch networks allot; witch leans my DNS cache rather jumbled up. After having to reset the DNS cache for the 10th time in a week. I ended up stumbling over DNS flusher. I find it easer then memorizing a terminal command.
