Win XP Client Cannot Connect to Mac OS X 10.4.4 Server but Win 2000 Can

Anyone run into this problem? Just basic Apple/Windows stand alone, no domain or interaction with other Windows Servers. User can log on fine with Windows 2000 client, but same user cannot connect with Windows XP client on same network.
Any workarounds out there?
Mac G4 MDD, 1GB RAM, 80MB main drive, 400GB data Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I had trouble with a WinXP client a while back, and
only vaguely rememeber things I did to fix it. I'm
thinking it's the Win system, not the Mac. On the win
machine, try deselecting the box "Enable IEEE 802.1x
authen. for this network" in the Properties >
Authentication tab for your network
interface.
Thank you for the suggestion. It worked!

Is anything we need to config after change db machine IP?

yeah,I got it.Everything is ok now.
After change IP,we must open TopologyManager:change the JDBC connection of workrepository which must chose in Designer.
when we open the Designer ,it will connect to db.then coonect to workrepository with original IP.So,we must rechange workrepository's JDBC first!

8.8 Client cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 error -1102

SAP Business On 8.8 on PL 18
This is not the first time I have had this issue with Windows Server 2008.
however everytime the resolution was diffrent. Now this site is causing trouble.
The issue is the client cannot connect. We have the log on window, can see the company list. type on the password and we get a -1102 error.
The client on the Server itself can log on. It is the cleints that cannot.
I checked these below.
1 SQL Native client is installed and ok.
2. Licence server is configured and ok
3. The user has admin access to locl PC
4. The SAP user name and password are correct ( client on server can connect fine )
5. The ports 1433, 30000 and 30001 are open on the server.
6. Through SQL server configuration the named pipes and TCP are enabled.
7. SQL server browser is running
The only things I have not tried are
The Firewall is running on the server and I have not yet stopped it. Will try that tomorrow.
Do you have any other ideas please ?

I have got this working but I am not confidant of the outcome - yet - I really need your expert advise here.
This is what I did. In that order.
1.     As Owen suggested I checked if there was a specified Port for the instance. What I found was TCP Dynamic ports were enabled ( SQL server config manager | network configuration | tcp properties ) and there was no TCP port specified. Assuming ( ai may be wrong) that the system assigns a dynamic port to this instance I set it up so the Dynamic port does not happen and manually specified the Port 1433. Restarted the SQL Service. ( still having the Port 1433 open in the firewall). This did not solve the issue.
2.     With the above setting still on, switched off the firewall. Went to the PC client and SAP can log on now. Now keeping the SAP client running, switched on the Firewall on the server. Log off SAP on PC client and log back in ( with firewall off ). SAP now can log on.
3.     I had to do the above step for all PCs to get them working.
4. Currently the firewall is on and clients can connect
So what could be happening? I have no clue. It is apparent there is some setting that gets saved within the PCs ( may be user profile) after the first log on with the Firewall off - to say its safe ?
However I have no idea what will happen if the server is restarted u2013 this server we cannot restart any time we want as itu2019s a critical server and runs other things.
I would still like to get to the bottom of this to understand what is happening.
I have a SAP message running too and will ask them this same question.

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

It is 'just not working' again.
To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
The passwords are 100% correct.
The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
Thanks

10.5 clients cannot connect via AFP to 10.4.11 server

Server : xServe running 10.4.11
Login with AFP is successful with
Clients:
all 10.6.x
all 10.4.x
Login fails ( or more accurately never produces a login dialog window,
just get a "Connecting to afp://x.x.x.x" message with barber pole
progress bar ) with any 10.5.x client ( workstation or server )
There is another 10.4.11 server in this network that allows 10.4, 10.6
and 10.5 clients to connect without issues.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The server uses both OD accounts and Local, but mainly the logins are local accounts on the server. Cannot login with either one - but it is definitely limited to just clients logging in from 10.5 workstations or servers... The same accounts can login fine from 10.4 or 10.6 machines. Seems to be a config problem limited to this 10.4.11 server. But have no idea what it could be. I have another 10.4.11 server that does not have this issue.

Call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and explain them your issue, it could range from having your router configured incorrectly to having a wiring issue. Personally, I have Comcast and they are great, no issues, and awesome customer service.
Hope you get up and running ASAP

OS 10.4 clients cannot access Shared Mac folder on W2k Server - URGENT

We have a network of about 25 computers, 10 or so of them are Mac OS 10.4, the rest are Win XP Pro PCs. We have a server dedicated to file sharing. We basically have one main shared folder called "FILES". This is shared for PCs and Macs. Recently after a restart of the server (for regular maintenance), the Macs could not see the shared Mac volume (FILES), PCs could access the share without a problem. After a few minutes (15 or so) the Macs could all of a sudden see the share and
everything was fine.
However, we just restarted the server again and we're having the same issue again. The difference is, this time, after waiting for a few hours, the Macs still cannot see the Mac Share. The macs connect to the server via TCP/IP, the users use their usernames and passwords and can connect to the server, however, the only volume they see is the Micrsoft UAM volume.
When we created a different folder and shared it (through MMC), the Macs could see and access that one.
We get an Event ID 12061 in the System Event Log as the user tries to connect to the share. I found a Microsoft KB article, but no solution to the problem was given. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q136300/
Here are some things I have tried to remedy the issue, please keep in mind we cannot change the name of the share (FILES) becuase of the thousands of file mappings in quark, etc.:
Again Restarted Server
Stopped Sharing the folder, then reshared it
Stopped sharing the folder
Uninstalled / Reinstalled Appletalk Protocol from network adapter
Uninstalled / Reinstalled File Services for Macintosh [Restarted]
Uninstalled / Reinstalled Appletalk Protocol from network adapter again [Restarted]
Reshared the folder
Created a new mac share called TEST (Macs could see and access)
Moved data from Files to TEST, now Macs could not see TEST
Moved data back to FILES
Created a folder called FILES2, moved data from FILES to FILES2
Stopped sharing FILES (PC and Mac), renamed FILES to FILES1
Renamed FILES2 to FILES (Macs could not see volume)
It seems as though the problem is with an individual file or two, which sort of corresponds the what Microsoft has written regarding the error.
Has anyone had any experience with this issue? Any insight or solution to this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

It's very important to be as specific as possible when discussion network service access. In your question, it sounds like you want the macs to attach to FILES using SMB/CIFS, but you also call it a Mac share, so it's not obvious if you mean an AFP share or just a share for Macs to use.
You should know that the Macs can connect to either AFP or SMB volumes, and they can browse for SMB over TCP/IP and AFP over both TCP/IP and Appletalk (Appletalk must be turned on and browsing active in Directory Access).
Connecting via SMB to a volume hosted on Windows2K or higher server will fail with the default settings, which require secure connections not supported by Mac OS X (because Samba doesn't support it). To overcome that problem, see this article:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030922153448490&query=-5000
(scroll down to one of the top-level replies, which explains in detail how to deactivate secure connections)
You might also be able to improve reliability by editing the SMB settings in Directory Access and setting a WINS server, but it depends on your network.

Cannot Connect to Mac App Store

When I open the MAS, I get a "Cannot Connect to the App Store" alert in the window.
When I try to signin, I receive a red "Connection failed" message in the signin dialog box.
When I go to Software Update from the Apple Menu, I receive a notice that "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again."
When I click on the Network Diagnostics button presented and go through the diagnostic, my network reports operating perfectly.
When I go to an app on the iTunes web-storefront click on the "View in Mac App Store" button, the MAS launches, but I get the same connection error.
I can sign in to the iTunes store. I can update software on my iDevices by using the iOS App Store. I have no problems there. It's just the MAS.
Apple support articles say:
If you’re having trouble using App Store, try these solutions:
If you see a message that your computer can’t connect to App Store, make sure your Internet connection is working. If you can open a web browser and view a website, there may be a problem with the store. Try using App Store again later. [I've been trying for two days, and there aren't a lot of issues like this on the first page of the discussions section, so I think it's probably not a common error at the moment...]
Make sure your computer’s date, time, and time zone are set correctly in Date & Time preferences. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Date & Time. [These are correct.]
Make sure your Apple ID information is accurate and that you don’t need to correct a problem with a previous purchase. To verify your Apple ID information and review your purchase history, choose Store > View My Account or click Account in the Quick Links section. [I can't connect in the app, so...]
If you’re still having trouble, click Support in the Quick Links section. [I couldn't find QuickLinks, but no other support article seems to be availlable to help this problem.]
I have restarted my computer, I have removed the App Store with AppDelete and reinstalled from the Lion 10.7.4 Client Combo. I've got no change.
I did notice that the MAS window menu reports the name of the window as "Firenze", which seems weird to me. Can anyone advise me?

Windows VNC clients cannot connect to Snow Leopard Server native VNC server

I am resurfacing the following related comment made in another post that discusses the same issue I am having with VNC on Snow Leopard. This is still an issue and I cannot connect to our Xserve's Snow Leopard Server with a VNC client on Windows.
I don't want to install another third party VNC server onto our SL Server, and am looking for a VNC client for windows that will connect to our SL Server.
Does anyone have any solutions?

Re: Newbie: Connect Windows -> OSX Server
Posted: Nov 4, 2009 9:26 AM in response to: Antonio Rocco
I would politely disagree. Yes, definitely, the Mac 'Screen Sharing' app works a treat, and Apple Remote Desktop.app works as well, but I am coming from a Window's PeeCee.
For me, connecting to my 10.5(.8) Server via tightvnc gives 'Server did not offer supported security type!". Using RealVNC to this machine states "No matching security types Do you wish to reconnect to ... ?" a telnet to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), shows RFB 003.889 *, or Remote Frame Buffer Major 3, minor 889.
Also, connecting to multiple 10.6(.1) Clients with Tightvnc correctly asks for a password but then hangs at "Status: Security type requested". Using RealVNC opens, connects, asks for authentication, and exits. Telneting to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), also shows RFB 003.889 *.
The Current Version of the protocol is supposed to be 3.8, that is Major version 3, minor version 8. Not 80 or 800 but Eight). http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf and I believe that tightvnc only supports up to version 3.7.
On each station I have installed the 'old' OSXVnc.app as a service (to a unique port). OSXVnc utilizes protocol 3.3 and I can control them successfully, but that is of my own doing because of this issue.
Now JollysFastVNC works a treat to any machine I have EVER tried to connect to. I have not tried COTVNC or any of the others (too slow for me, when they wer e around)
Also, I just noticed that RealVNC states that their free and personal version will not connect to Mac OSX (x86 and PPC) but the Enterprise one will. I just Dl'ed the Enterprise Viewer and it gave essentially the same thing ('protocol is not valid' message, even after it asks for a password). Anyway, I am not here to hijack this thread, just trying to keep the info flowing and open.
Maybe I am the only one with these problems but the bottom line is I cannot use Real or Tight, or UltraVNC to administer my server or clients as long as AppleVNCServer gives out the 003.889 protocol version.
Peter
* The ProtocolVersion message consists of 12 bytes interpreted as a string of ASCII characters in the format "RFB xxx.yyy\n" where xxx and yyy are the major and
minor version numbers, padded with zeros.

Searching on the net brought me to the same solution that Mr. Hoffman found as well, I was a bit skeptical at first but since he recommended it, and all my other attempts failed, it was a last resort and I have some additional notes of my own for a successful solution. Read the two links below first before doing anything, as they contribute to the solution in tandem.

I should probably just create an entirely new post with all of the steps that worked for me, but it's rather straightforward nonetheless.

Clients cannot connect using afp running lion 10.7.1, worked ok before upgrade from 10.7 to 10.7.1

I am running a macminiserver on ahome newtwork. Original running snow leopard and then upgraded to 10.7 lion on all machine and everything was working fine. Clients coul connected to shared drives on the server using afp. However, after upgrading to 10.7.1 on the server and client machines, they can no lnger connect to the drives using afp, however you can connect using smb.
I ahve tried stopping and starting the afp server, rebuilding permissions on the server - still cannot connect using afp.
Any ideas?

Be sure the correct Lion afp port is open on your router, even if you are using an Airport (port 548 tcp). Just do a search on "Mac OS X Lion ports".
Also, if this is outside of the network, use the full server name in the Finder's Connect to Server, afp://server.com; when it prompts for a username, enter your first name and last name (not your short name) and then you also need to enter your password. If you don't have a fqdn, then you can use the static ip for "server.com"
It should work, working for me inside and outside of the network. Admittedly, I don't think you need the port on the router for internal use, but you can test both ways.
When working outside of the network a vpn is not required.

Win 7 PC cannot connect to Time Capsule - despite flawless I'net connection

Hi, strange thing and I'd appreciate if someone knew a trick to solve it:
Although my Windows notebook can connect to the internet via our Time Capsule (WPA2 key, AES encryption) without any problems for a long time now, I cannot connect to it via AirPort even with the correct WPA key.
When running the AirPort utility I can see our TC with its name and IP address (10.0.1.1 as usual, I think) in the main view. After clicking "Manual Setup" or "Continue" in the main view, AirPort asks for the password.
After entering the password (same as the one that is in my settings for the WLAN connection via TC, of course), *TC REFUSES TO CONNECT* and the *"Enter password" window will appear over and over again*. No specific error message given.
The WLAN connection has been set up using the MacBook (I once read this could be a problem). Working proberly
all the time, though.
Tried deactivating both firewall and virus protection of my Norton security package on my Lenovo - no effect.
Background:
We intend to use an external USB hard drive which is connected to our Time Capsule. After TC has moaned that the drive had to be "repaired", we created partitions for Mac (OS X) and Windows (FAT) partition from the MacBook.
The MacBook can access the drive and partitions. Fine.
The Windows 7 notebook won't show the hard drive nor the Time Capsule. Thus, I have installed AirPort utility (V 5.5.1) to get access to the USB hard drive. And there I am - kinda stuck halfway...
Hardware setup:
Lenovo ThinkPad X61, Windows 7 Pro
MacBook, OS X 10.5.8
Time Capsule
1.0TB Buffalo Drive Station USB 3.0 plugged into Time Capsule
Help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Mark

I found something that worked for me. I got Error Number 53 when trying to connect to my time capsule using Airport Base Station Agent with windows vista. I think the issue is allowing your time capsule to be accessed over Bonjour; I think this feature is disabled by default. Well, here is what I did (also, this may answer the question for those of you who are confused to why it asks for a username/password when you attempted to map the time capsule's hdd) -
In Airport Utility: Airport >> Time Capsule
- Click "Edit..." and check the "Use dynamic global hostname" box.
- Enter in the info (for hostname, I used the same name as the local Hostname (at the top of that window, for user/password -- The info you enter here is the same info you must enter when you are prompted to, that is if you try to map the time capsule's hdd)
- Click "OK"
In Airport Utility: Disks >> Files Sharing
- Make sure "Share disks over WAN" is checked AND make sure "Share disks over the Internet using Bonjour" is checked as well.
- Click OK.
In Airport Utility: Click "Update", let it reset, and try accessing the Time Capsule via Airport Base Station Agent as you usually would/or mapping the harddrive"
In summary, since vista uses Bonjour, you must make sure your time capsule is 'Bonjour-accessible'
I Hope this solution alleviates a lot of people's problems!!!
Oh yea, this solution worked with firmware 7.4.1
AND...prior to trying this method, I did enable NETBIOS. It was enabled while I did this solution (and still is). I haven't tried it with it disabled (well maybe not disabled - it's on automatic by default).

Cannot connect to mac mini before login

I just got a mac mini (the latest model) and turned on screen sharing and ssh. After I login (using a wired keyboard), I can connect to it from my MBP using VNC or SSH. But if I simply turn it on and do not login, I cannot connect to it (and I cannot even ping its IP address). Plus, it will turn off after 5 minutes (it is not asleep because tapping on keyboard does not wake it). I think this is not expected. I should be able to remotely connect to it even if I do not login locally. Does anyone have a solution?

Can you check your router to see if an IP address is assigned to the mini from your MBP? If so, you should be able to access it. You're right; you shouldn't need to login to get an IP address assigned. That should be requested at boot. The other thing, if you haven't already done so, make sure in:
System Preferences > Energy Saver > Select "Wake for Ethernet network access", as well as:
System Preferences > Sharing > Select "Remote Login" and "Remote Management"
While I don't have a mini (considering one now), that's what I have done to access my Mac and it does receive an IP address prior to my logging in.

My win 7 home premium cannot connect the sharing printer (EPSON L1100) in Windows server 2003 it say "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"

in My office there is a win server 2003 R2 computer, i install a printer Epson L1100 in that computer, and it successfull, and i can print using that printer from that computer..
I already share this printer, but when i try to connect the printer from my laptop using OS Win 7 Home Premium.. it has error
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"...
and then i try connect using other computer but same OS (win 7 Home premium) it still has same error...
i usually connect to the server computer using //(the ip of computer) , for example
//52.30.20.66 .. that is my IP server..
and than i right click in shared printer which appears in windows explorer, and i choose
Connect... but it contain error "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"..
anyone know the solution from this error???
i`m sorry if my english is bad.. i`m from indonesia

Got a local password/username on your Win7 ? Create the same on the 2003R2 as you seem in workgroup
net user /add useraccountname mypassword
net localgroup users useraccountname /add (I think it's users the name, you can validate to be sure) or
net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add in worst case.
nb, or add the user guess in the printer share security
