Workaround for go connect to Server

Am looking for a workaround for using the go>connect to server command so that students won't see that school Administrator's computer is actually accessible. (yes, there's a password, but...)
Previously clients (OS 10.2) were bound to server (OS 10.3) but that caused lots of freezes while computers not busy between classes.
Tried logging in and creating an alias, but it was only valid for the account which created the alias.
Any suggestions?

UPDATE: now if I enter the specifc IP address of the Windows system, it DOES find (thankfully!) my Windows system for file sharing.
Any advice? Why would this all of a sudden stop with the Browse feature? Thank you.

Workaround for TC connection issues

Like many TC users on this forum, I started having frequent internet connection problems recently, which may have been related to the rollout of a new version of Airport Utility and new firmware for the TC. After reading various posts in this forum I tried several fixes, but none worked, so I then tried a workaround with an old router I had lying around and am now up and running fine again.
The problem I was experiencing was frequent, irregular internet drops. It was most noticeable with streaming video, like Netflix Watch Instantly or Hulu programs, but it happened with any internet usage, even in Windows XP under Boot Camp. I have a DSL connection and could plug in to the modem directly, bypassing the TC, and then the internet connection was just fine, so it seemed likely to be a TC issue.
Unsuccessful fixes attempted included:
--reverting back to the old TC firmware and reinstalling the old version of Airport Utility,
--unchecking the SNMP logging and configure over WAN options in Airport Utility,
--limiting wifi to one band (2.4 vs 5 gHz) at a time to try to overcome the dual band problem some thought might be resulting from the new firmware.
I even bought new ethernet cables to rule out that as a possibility.
None of this made a difference, so I thought I'd replace the TC with an old router in the interim, and then it struck me I could keep the TC and just plug it into the old router. The wifi security on the old router is lacking, so I turned off the wireless option on it and just use it as a wired bridge between the DSL modem and the TC. My internet connection drops are now a thing of the past, and I've retained the full functionality of the TC.
If you're having frequent internet drops on your TC and you have an old router lying around you might give this a try. After 5+ hours of troubleshooting it was a real godsend.

Disconnect any ethernet cables to the WAN port.. Connect ethernet from LAN port to your computer.. Press and hold reset for 10sec.. then it will come back.. Open airport utility and redo the setup.

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost". I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service. Is there something I should do to my IPAD? I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions). I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3. I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned". HELP and Thank you in advance.

Hello Theresa818,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad.
Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
Restart your iPad.
Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPad as new.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
Take care,
Sterling

Trying to connect to serve message for over 10 minutes trying to install creative cloud

The Adobe installer window says "trying to connect to server"...... I cannot get Creative Cloud to install

I was on a chat session for over an hour yesterday. She had me going through all types of settings on my computer. It was ridiculous. I was about to try one more time today with Internet Explorer (I use Chrome normally) If that doesn’t work I just may call to cancel the subscription.
Let me know if you were successful and I’ll do likewise.

FF3.6.13 keeps telling me updates are available but it has been connecting to server for days when is it going to happen

I/m using winXP SP when i open FF browser a message appears in the bottom taskbar updates are avaialable Igo into "check for updates"& another box says "downloading the update" &"connecting to server" but this has been going on for days how long does it take? I have used up my 2gig monthly download from OPTUS but with the slow connection updates should be done by now any help on whats wrong?

[[Updates reported when running newest version]] - link
The cause could be due to your user agent being mixed up as 3.6.12 and 3.6.13 versions. I think downloading 3.6.13 from www.mozilla.com and then uninstall your 3.6.13 and then install the 3.6.13 you downloaded should fix it in this case. Your settings are in a separate place ([[Profiles]]) and not in program folder.

In the icloud settings, I am told I need to accept the terms and conditions to use icloud. However, when I click on "Terms and conditions", I get a message "unable to connect to server". This has been happening for a week now since I upgraded to iOS 7.06. There is no problem with my wifi or cellular connectivity, all other applications work perfectly. P.S.I have never used icloud before, but wish to do so now. How do I overcome this problem?

Have you turned the iPad off then back on? That often helps with problems.

Workarounds for searching a text field in SQL Server 2000

Hi,
I have a need to search within a text field in SQL Server 2000. In the
limitations section it notes that this is not possible. Is there a
recommended workaround for this in terms of performance? I have no way
of knowing the length of the text field in advance, and this could be
fairly large. Also, the number of objects that could contain the text
can be fairly large as well.
Thanks in advance,
Khamsouk

Note that some databases (or Oracle, at least) provide alternatives to
LIKE '%foo%' that are more efficient for large text blocks, given that
you have the appropriate indexing plugins etc. etc.
To use one of those types of search operators, you'd have to put
together a custom extension.

I'm assuming that when you say 'a text field', you're referring to a
SQLServer TEXT field, as opposed to just any old field that contains
text.
Like I said, I'm by no means a SQLServer pro, but I just ran:
SELECT CLOBSTRINGX
FROM LOCATORTESTOBJECTX
WHERE CLOBSTRINGX LIKE '%o%';
and got back my test row with 'foo' in the CLOBSTRINGX column.
CLOBSTRINGX is a TEXT column.
So, it is possible that our stringContains() extension will just work.
But then again, maybe not. I'm guessing it will.
Give it a try and, if you get an error, post the generated SQL (turn on
SQL output by setting the com.solarmetric.kodo.Logger property to
'stdout') and the error that you get. Also, try executing the generated
SQL directly against your data store to see if it works there.

Disalbe ALL security software (firewall, antivirus, etc.) running on your computer while updating.

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

"send for shared review" cannot connect to server

I'm trying use the "Send for Shared Review" feature in Acrobat 9. I want to send a pdf document to acrobat.com and share with others for review and comment. I first used this feature about 2 months ago and it worked without a hitch.
Every time I try it by clicking in the menu "Send for Shared Review", I'm asked for my user name and password to connect to Acrobat.com. I type it in (I know it's correct because I can go to acrobat.com using my browser and the password works), the Acrobat.com dialog box comes up telling me it "can't connect to server." It has my correct log in information. If I use my browser to go to acrobat.com, I can log in fine, but then of course I can't get the mark-up feature for my shared pdf files. Any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot? I'm at a loss.
I'm using Acrobat 9 and Mac OS 10.5.8

I'm having the same problem. I've
been using this for over a year without an issue, today I am getting the same message, can't log into the server. It works on my pc but not my mac. Any answers

Design question for database connection in multithreaded socket-server

Dear community,
I am programming a multithreaded socket server. The server creates a new thread for each connection.
The threads and several objects witch are instanced by each thread have to access database-connectivity. Therefore I implemented factory class which administer database connection in a pool. At this point I have a design question.
How should I access the connections from the threads? There are two options:
a) Should I implement in my server class a new method like "getDatabaseConnection" which calls the factory class and returns a pooled connection to the database? In this case each object has to know the server-object and have to call this method in order to get a database connection. That could become very complex as I have to safe a instance of the server object in each object ...
b) Should I develop a static method in my factory class so that each thread could get a database connection by calling the static method of the factory?
Thank you very much for your answer!
Kind regards,
Dak

So your suggestion is to use a static method from a
central class. But those static-methods are not realy
object oriented, are they?There's only one static method, and that's getInstance
If I use singleton pattern, I only create one
instance of the database pooling class in order to
cionfigure it (driver, access data to database and so
on). The threads use than a static method of this
class to get database connection?They use a static method to get the pool instance, getConnection is not static.

SQL EXpress Server 2012 Installed in VM for RD Connection Broker

All,
I have big trouble now...
I have 2 cluster machine and created one Virtual Machine in the cluster and installed SQL Server Express 2012 in VM.
In both cluster machine installed SQL Client 11.0. and RD Connection Broker installed one of the Cluster machine, while configure RD HA it throws error Please refer screen shot.
Is it right to install SQL server on Virtual Machine ?
Is it possible SQL Server 2014 Standard installed one of the cluster machine and RD Connection Broker enable both cluster machine and make HA of RD Connection Broker HA ?
What is the best way to achieve to enable RD Connection broker with in Cluster machine(2 Node) ?
Please any one guide to us.
Regards
Venki

Hi Venki,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Generally the error which you are facing occurs due to permission and security issue on SQL server. we need to specify the permission during RDCB setting. Here suggest to create the database manually and check the result.
CREATE DATABASE 'rds_db'
Where rds_db is the database specified in your connection string
DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;SERVER=<SQL Server Name>;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Remote Desktop Services Connection Broker;DATABASE=<DB Name>
Grant DBO permissions to the service account on the RDS server and try to run your wizard again.
Also when configuring RDCB HA, we need to create a local folder to store database which is “Remote SQL file systems”. And if local path is used create a folder on the root directory of the SQL Server (C:\RDCB).
Please check below article for more information.

Connect To Server Hangs Before Prompting For Name And Password

Hi Everyone.
Connect to Server hangs for 25 seconds before prompting for name and password.
I am trying to access a share on a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller via a Mac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) using SMB.
Example: smb://192.168.101.11/sharename
Once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
I have specified port 139 and login name, I have disabled IP6 on the Mac, the Mac and Windows 2008 server are on the same LAN and are wired.
Again, once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Damian

Something to add ...
Connecting to a Windows 2008 stand-alone server outside of the domain (e.g., workgroup) does not have the same problem - the name and password prompt shows immediately.
