I have two machines, a 2012 mini and a 2012 iMac. The mini is "Cerebus" (10.0.0.13) and the iMac is "Jaka" (10.0.0.125) <1>. They are on the same LAN and connected to the same switch on that LAN.
I have my user account on both machines with my name and the short name and the UID (501) identical. In System Preferences=>Sharing I have "Remote Management" enabled on both machines, and both are set to "Allow access for [•] Only these users" with my name showing in both panels. Under "Options" all checkboxes are ticked on both machines. From Jaka, I am able to click Cerebus in the Finder sidebar and then click "Share Screen…" in the Finder window. After a few (10-20) seconds, I get the window for Cerebus and I can operate in there as normal. From Cerebus, there is no "Screen Sharing…" button in the finder windows for Jaka. If I open Screen sharing on Cerebus and type in Jaka's local IP, I get "Connection Failed" and the same if I type in Jaka.local. I can type in either the IP of Cerebus.local on Jaka in the screen-sharing dialog and share Cerebus's screen. The only thing I get in the Console is 17-May-13 1:57:55.263 AM Screen Sharing[14473]: connect() failed. errno:61, fd:7, port:5900 17-May-13 1:57:55.279 AM Screen Sharing[14473]: Communications error but googling from Screen Sharing errno:61 hasn't been helpful. <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4191376?start=30&tstart=0> I can ssh to/from either Jaka or Cerebus with no issues. The behavior persists through restarts and through System 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 at least. <1> I've narrowed this down to two specific machines for simplicity in the email, there are more machines involved, but I am ignoring the other machines for this email. For example, both Jaka and Cerebus can see and share the screen for Thanatos (10.0.0.113). -- 'Never say die, master. That's our motto, eh?' I CAN'T SAY IT'S EVER REALLY BEEN MINE. --Hogfather _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
