Writing files to other computers on network

I'm trying to build a tool that replaces a configuration file on several computers (PCs) on a network. I've been browsing through some documents and it seems like all I need to do is to provide the UNC pathname when I'm reading and writing. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I believe this is correct. But would it possible to run a tool from a UNIX box and manipulate files on PC's on the same network?

If you have a Windows network then JCIFS should work for this. I use it for transferring files between IBM iSeries and Windows machines.
And as for the UNC path idea, that would work provided the user ID on the "central" computer was allowed to sign on to all of the "other" computers. Otherwise you would have to provide a user ID and password, and I don't know if you can do that in a UNC path. However JCIFS does allow for that.

Unable to play my quick time files to other computers....

Dear folks,
I post again my problem. I have a quick time movie which I upload to a digital performer(music software)file, I write music based on the picture and then I bounce to quick time movie.
The new bounced file on my desktop is playing fine (by the way I have quick time 7.5.5. pro). I transfer it to my memory stick (travel drive) and I am trying to play the file to other computers but I get only sound, not video.
So my question is how come only audio is playing and not the video.
I am sure my codec is set to H.264 which is the most standard codec, right?
Please advise what to do.
P.S. I exported the bounced file as avi (using "file" and "export" from quick time menu and I was able to play it to other computers. The quality though is not as good as quick time movie.

I have the same problem: HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro as av QT movie will play beautifully on in the QT player on the dual Mac Pro it was created on, but when trying to play it on my flatscreen TV from a Mac mini, I get sound, but just a black screen.
Format is Apple HD 1080i/50, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062) (no idea where these formats come from) FPS 25, nomal size and current size is 1920 x 1080. I have QT pro 7.5.5. and mpeg-2 plug-in on both macs.
I have also tried the h.264 codec with same result. MPEG-4 codec will show video with staccato perfomance and stops, even though it plays evenly on the Mac Pro. My .movs in ordinary 4:3 plays ok, so may be it’s a HD format problem?
Juging from other postings, there is a bug in the later QT versions, but why then is it fine on one mac and not others, with same version of QT. TV has nothing to do with it, because it plays quirky on other Mac minis also.
Someone from Apple should comment on all these problems.

XP/Pro box doesn't see other computers on network after running CiscoConnect on it

Got a new E4200 on September 13 to provide internet and networking to a small business network.
There are 2 wired computers, one an XP/pro and the other a Win 7/64 bit. Both worked straight out of the box in that both had access to each others' files after plugging them into the E4200. Two other wireless computers were connected using CiscoConnect, one a Vista and the other a Win 7, and all was fine. All computers were able to see each others' file. Also managed to get a wireless Canon printer working even though CiscoConnect wasn't able to find it.
After I realized I didn't run CiscoConnect on the XP, I did so using the USB key created on the Win7 box and the result was that the XP box doesn't see any of the other computers although all the other computers can see the XP files. After uninstalling CiscoConnect on the XP and rebooting, the XP can't access the other computer files but it can still access the internet and the wireless Canon printer that CiscoConnect can't find. Rebooting or powering off/on the router didn't change this state.
Would appreciate any ideas in getting the XP back into the network.
Firmware Version:
1.0.02 build 13 May 24, 2011

Update on above problem:
Performed a System Restore on the XP and partial networking functionality was restored. The XP box now sees the Vista and the XP Explorer can see all computers under the Workgroup. Probing the Win 7 computers from XP's explorer the XP returns the following: message
\\Win7a is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resourc. Contact the a...
This message doesn't mean much to me as I have limited networking experience but somebody here might understand this clue.

Unable to Connect to Other Computers on Network

We have a small network of 4 Macs and suddenly one of our computers cannot connect to other computers on the network. We have file sharing turned on all the Macs, and the other computers can connect to this G4 733 DA, but the G4 DA can "see" the other computers, but when I try to connect I get the message that the connection failed.
Is there any solution other than reloading Tiger? In system 9 it was simple to just reload the networking extension if it was damaged, but I am not sure for what to search to fix this problem.
G4/1GHz, 7600 w/G3/500 MHz , G4/733 MHz Server Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Since all the computers are "seeing" each other, I would try to do a "Repair Permissions" from the Disk Utility on the G4 DA...and, if that doesn't help, try the "Repair Disk" option before reloading Tiger. Sometimes, when OS X can't access system files properly, you see "strange" errors like these.

One computer can't talk to other computers on network

I have a home airport network. All our computers and devices log on and use wifi and internet with no problems except suddenly one MacBook can no longer connect to the other computers on the network. It shows up in the list of devices on those computers but when I try to connect I get a message sayong the computer is not available. This happens in both directions. However, the "lost computer is on the network and can access the internet. Other computers on the network have no problem connecting to each other. The problem MacBook was working fine the last time I tried this and I've made no changes to it since then. I've tried restarting, clean restarts, etc. Nada. Help please.

Hopefully Apple will come to your aid
• Make sure all the computers on your LAN are on AppleTalk w/ File Sharing: On
• Check the Firewall settings of all workstations
• Confirm that your User or Admin account has sufficient Privileges to access sharepoints
• Reboot all machines to flush their DHCP lease or IP bottleneck
P.S. there are known issues currently with Leopard File Sharing to-and-from pre-Leopard OS X's. I do not know why your window magically closes itself. Last, run Software Update. Good luck.

WRT300N - Can't share other computers in Network

I have three computers connected to my network all using Windows XP O/S. When I try to access one of the other computers from the desktop home computer I receive a message that I do not have Administrative Priviledges. Cannot locate the other computers in My Network Places (same message) and cannot Ping other computers as well. If I look at My Network Places on the other two machines I can see the Linksys WRT300N router and can Ping 192.168.1.1. Windows Firewall is off. Security is Norton. Must have settings wrong somewhere but do not know where to start. I want to be able to share files and printers (sharing turned on in Windows) but at the end of my rope trying to figure this out. Can someone help?

Firs of all you need to disable Norton antivirus on all the computers. And make sure all the computers are in the same workgroup. Click Here and follow the Instruction how to enable file sharing between your computers.

Can't see other computers on network through wireless/wired OK

Our wireless clients that connect through our AP541N cannot see other computers on the network. They can ping other computers by IP and host name and access the internet OK. Mapped network drives can be connected initially but are very unreliable and always end up disconnecting. Restarting the computer does not help. When these computers are wired they see the network as expected. Does anyone know why my wireless network would behave differently then the wired? The wired and wireless networks are on the same VLAN. The wireless clients are all Windows 7 systems. Thanks.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for posting. Go to Wireless Network Setup (VAPs) and see if Station Isolation is enabled for the SSID in question. From the Help menu:
When Station Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the AP.
When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients on the same VAP. The AP still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP.

G5 No longer connecting to airport and other computers on network

My G5 dual 2.0 (mid 1994) was connecting to the internet through airport extreme base station until Saturday. I had upgraded it to leopard (archive & Install) then up to 10.5.1 last week and all was good. After bootup today it doesn't see any other computers on the network and it doesn't get email and doesn't access the web. When I check network settings I notice that WPA Personal is selected but not WPA2, so I tried to change that but it didn't seem to change after applying after a restart. Then I checked to see if DHCP setting were configured. This is where things seem odd, I can't renew the DHCP lease like I can on my MacBook Pro (running current version of tiger) that I am typing this with. I tried to make a new airport connection, tried using a different account, checked system profiler (sees card and all), but no connection to email or internet. Is there a firewall configuration that I need to set differently? Also, verified permissions. Is there something else that needs to be done or is there a ugly bug stopping the show?

i had the same problem after installing leopard on my macbook. it would not connect to the internet! i called applecare today and actually got someone who knew how to help me. he said that you have to reset the parameters whatever that means! and this is how you do it:
1 - turn off your computer
2 - turn on computer and immediately hold down these four buttons simultaneously: Option Key, Apple Key, P, R - then when you hear the second "ding" , LET GO OF THE FOUR BUTTONS.
i did it and the macbook is connecting to the internet just fine. i hope this helps!!!!!!!!

Can't find other computers on network

Hi. Every once in a while (aka, 1/4 times) I can't see any other computers on my network. I am using a MacBook (with Tiger, of course), my brother has a a G5 iMac with Panther, there's an XP PC, and a win98 PC on the network. I access the network wirelessly and everyone else is wired to the router.
What happens is I that I go to the network tab in finder and wait but no computers show up, not even the other mac. I restart and that usually fixes it. The problem happens at totally random times.
The problem also occurs on the iMac, with the same behaviour.
Any ideas about what is happening?
-Eric

I don't think that's it. Remember, it also happens to the iMac -- and it's wired to the router. When it happens the iMac isn't even able to see the other PC's, which are also wired.
This problem also occured before I got the MacBook -- it happened on the iMac. And at that time we only had a wired router. So, I was trying to access a PC with XP over a wired router with the iMac and it still happened. So, I'm guessing it's a problem with OSX (and not just Tiger because the iMac has Panther).
Oh and by the way, we currently use a wireless-g router by Trendnet (model number TEW-432BRP). It has 4 wired ports for ethernet cables and an antenna for wireless.

Connecting to other computers on network doesn't work as expected.

This is kind of interesting.
I do this: From Menu Go > Network
Then I choose either my iMac or MacBook Pro and double click the user name for my home folders on the other computers.
A window opens up and the bottom right of the window the little twirling busy thing just goes and goes and goes.
I notice the server icon on the Desktop and double click it and everything is there an access is fast, just like I expected from the first window that popped up. But it's still there, blank, with a little twirly thing (very technical).
I get what I'm after, but it doesn't work the way it should.

Try keeping your shares from sleeping during the expected period of use--assuming they are. If this procedure works, then you'll need to decide between the "lesser of the two evils."

Wireless Router can't see other computers on network

I have a home network set up as follows:
Cable modem connected to a VOIP modem then it is connected to a 8 port switch.
I have 2 computers and a Linksys wireless router connected to the switch.
The 2 computers can see each other on the network.
When I connect to the wireless router I can access the internet but cannot see the other two computers on the network.
When I connect to the switch via a wire I can see the network.
Is the wireless router blocking my access to the network?
What can I do to be able to see the network through the wireless router?
Thanks,
Jethro

Cannot connect to other computers on network. HELP!

Using a G-5 dual 2.0 with 10.4.10 and I am having issues with networking and connecting to other computers on my network. This is an intermittent problem. When I try to connect <go> <connect to server><browse> the computers on the network do not show up(in the network window) all the time. Sometimes they will if I restart and sometimes not. Why is this happening? I have 4 other machines and they are all fine. I can connect to if but not from it.

Mac Mini has intermittent network access - other computers on network ok

My inlaws just got a new Mac Mini and it is having networking problems. The network is currently setup with a cable modem which feeds a router that hosts several other computers, both Apple and PC. All of the computers are using DHCP for IP assignment. None of the other computers are having any problems. The Mini seems to get assigned an address correctly, even according to the computer's own network diagnostics, but internet access is spotty. Some webpages load instantly, some take up to 20s, and sometimes they don't load at all. I also tried manual IP assignment, but there doesn't seem to be any effect on the performance. Any ideas?

Hi Whiteknight & Welcome to the forums,
The network is currently setup with a cable modem which feeds a router that hosts several other computers, both Apple and PC. All of the computers are using DHCP for IP assignment.
Make/model of your router?
How is your MacMini connected to the router (wired/wireless(ly)?)
None of the other computers are having any problems. The Mini seems to get assigned an address correctly, even according to the computer's own network diagnostics, but internet access is spotty. Some webpages load instantly, some take up to 20s, and sometimes they don't load at all.
It's a VFAQ already
Take a look @ this thread and take a screenshot of your TCP/IP settings too (this would help us spot incorrect settings (if any))
can you ping other computers on your network?
I also tried manual IP assignment, but there doesn't seem to be any effect on the performance. Any ideas?
That's unlikely. Verify that the Mini get its TCP/IP settigns manually (and correctly) and that you can ping the rest of the computers and your router successfully. Post back info to see how it's going.

Trouble Connecting to Other computers in Network

Hi. I have quite a few computers in our local home network, via an apple airport extreme. There's three G4's running Tiger, and a few G5's running Leopard. I'm able to connect to any of the 3 Tiger based G4's by opening the network, and selecting "share screen" on which ever computer I want to run. It works fine. However, I cant seem to log into any of the Leopard G5's from the G4 computers. I dont know if it has to do with the fact that, they're Leopard, or that they're G5's. Whenever I got to Network up at the top under the "Go" pane, nothing comes up when you click it. I tried manually connecting with their IP addresses using the "connect to server" function under Go, doesnt work either. None of the Leopard computers appear under the network, only the older computers. Any suggestions on how I can connect the Tiger computers to the newer Leopards? I dont see a share screen function anywhere on Tiger.

Okay, so you can get from a Leopard to a Leopard and from a Leopard to a Tiger okay then, right? But what you can't do is get from a Tiger to a Tiger or from a Tiger to a Leopard, right? And that's what you are inquiring how to do, right?
Tiger to Tiger: Unless you have paid the small phenomenal fee for Apple Remote Desktop Client program for your Tiger computers, as near as I can tell, you're going to have to use VNC to do what you are trying to do. This post has several links to some other posts that tell how to do VNC encrypted through a secure shell tunnel from across the internet at large, Tiger to Tiger; a little more than what you are asking; but a subset of those directions apply here. On your home subnet, you don't need to worry about tunneling through secure shell and in the VNC client program; rather than connect to "localhost:5901" as described in all those posts, you'd just connect to {computerNameOrIPAddressOnYourHomeNetwork}. However, all the descriptive text in all those posts about how to configure the Tiger machine as a VNC server, which requires both Apple Remote Desktop and VNC to be enabled in the remote server computer's System Preferences, still applies in the local subnet case just as it does in the internet-at-large case.
Tiger to Leopard: Can't be definitive on this one, but I would suspect that there will be a similar process to enable VNC server on the Leopard, as was described in all those Tiger-to-Tiger posts. Again, this assumes that you don't want to, or haven't already, put out a bunch of money for Apple Remote Desktop Client for your Tigers. If you have the ARD client, I am guessing it is a no-brainer for both the Tiger-to-Leopard and Tiger-to-Tiger scenarios. Otherwise, I don't see how you will get this capability unless you can enable a VNC server service (along with the ARD server) in the remote server Leopard's (and the remote server Tiger's) system preferences, and run a VNC client like Chicken of the VNC or JollyFastVNC on the local client Tiger computer that you are sitting in front of.
PS: and we're not worrying about file sharing or remote login not working, are we? At least not yet?
