I am new to this forum and new to Retrospect so please cut me some slack if I ask a stupid question. I work for a small nonprofit organization and our network consists mostly of Macs with a few Wintell PCs thrown in here and there. Currently our Mac network protocol is AppleTalk, but I am trying to ADD TCP/IP in order to benefit from the speed gain while backing up with Retrospect. Everything looks like it is working fine on the Macs that do not connect to the Internet via AOL (we are not currently in an area that supports high bandwidth so each computer must connect to the Internet via modem). On the Macs that do connect via AOL I have had nothing but problems since I activated TCP/IP. Many times when booting the Macs I get endless error messages about trying to run Internet applications via AOL, or when I do not get those, I can connect to AOL, but I can not access ANY web sites. Since getting these problems, I believe I have set everything back to pre-TCP/IP settings, but the problems still persist. Simultaneously with the TCP/IP problems, these same Macs have started, well . . . pausing intermittently for 5 to 10 seconds. I have also tried reinstalling AOL, deleting and recreating the TCP/IP preferences, and completely turning off TCP/IP on these Macs, but nothing seems to work. In setting up the TCP/IP settings I followed the instructions found in Appendix A of the Retrospect Manual. I left the AOL TCP/IP settings alone, but changed the Default settings appropriately (manual configuration since we do not currently have a DHCP server). At this point I do not care if I can get TCP/IP working on these Macs, AppleTalk would be fine, but I have to get rid of these other problems.
