Network communication failed - a hint

I had a client that was showing up as "nothing in the container" and "network communication failed" when you went into the Remotes browser. I checked on the client, and what he'd done was put the whole hard disk as a private area (by mistake). I checked the docs, and a cursory glance didn't re

Title: Re: freezes in Mac while backing up No solution here, but I have a similar problem on a G3 AppleShareIP server.  I followed Dantz's directions perfectly and anytime I try to back the server up either locally or over the network, the backup stops and the AppleShareIP server locks up. I

Title: Re: freezes in Mac while backing up Hi Matt, Please call us so you can troubleshoot this with a tech. You may want to try the AppleShare lockout feature (available via the Options button of your script), but you may have something else unique to your system that may be causing this.

Title: Re: freezes in Mac while backing up Andrew, If this works with extensions off, you apparently have solved half the problem--extensions conflict. I'm not sure how you mean this has "not worked." It's extensions, you just have to figure out which ones. See the Retrospect 4.2 User's G
