Machines: PM6500 running 9.x Yikes! G4 running 9.x FW800 G4 running OS X
The Yikes & FW800 share my desk with a USB switchbox.
The PM6500 is downstairs.
2-3 system updates ago (OS X), I suddenly had a hard time connecting to the FW800 from the other two machines upon a reboot. It would take a few minutes to give me the dialog box to log into the machine, and if I did enter my password it says the connection is broken. When I hit cancel, the machine will "freeze" for 4 minutes and come up with the same box. This will go on for over an hour. Or I can leave the machine alone for an hour or two and it will be fine when I look at it later. I can attach via the network browser just fine though.
I finally got the smart idea to reset all my switches and that seemed to do the trick for awhile, but it's back again. As I need to do some work on one of those machines, it's a little frustrating! :(
Anyone deal with this before, and barring that, how do I get it not to look for the other machines on boot so I can manually attach?
FWIW, I can attach from the fW800 machine to the others just fine.
TIA,
Diane
