Our LAN can see a Macbook but can't connect to it
We have four Macs in our house, all running 10.5.8. There are two G5s, one G4, and a Macbook Pro. All the computers are connected to the Internet by a Zhone modem that has a transmitter inside it that allows us to have a LAN. This modem is connected to one of the G5s with an ethernet cable, and the other G5 and the G4 have 802.11n/g/b wireless stick adapters with antennas plugged into their USB ports, so that our computers can not only get on the Internet but they can share files with each other. All the computers have the same things checked in the Sharing pref panel. Both G5s and the G4 have no trouble sharing files on the LAN. But the Macbook can't. The Macbook apparently has an Airport card in it, because the other computers can see it on the network, but they can't connect with it. When they try to, the connection just hangs. And the Macbook itself doesn't see any of the other computers. We tried plugging one of the wireless USB adapters into the Macbook, but nothing changed. The Macbook still couldn't see any other computer, even though the other computers could see the Macbook, but could not make any connection with it. This Macbook is the only Intel Mac we have. Could that have something to do with the problem?

Re: Our LAN can see a Macbook but can't connect to it
Thanks for the suggestions, Bruce. We tried them with no change in the situation, if we in fact did what you meant (we're not too techie around here). Here's what we did. First we went to the Macbook's Airport prefs and disabled the IPV6, whatever that is. It made no difference. The other Macs could still see the Macbook but couldn't connect to it, and the Macbook still couldn't see any other Mac. Then we restarted the Macbook, to see if it made any difference after starting up with IPV6 disabled, but it did not. In either case, with or without IPV6, the Macbook could still get on the Internet wirelessly--it just couldn't see the other computers. Then we disconnected the Ethernet cable that runs from the modem to one of the G5s, and plugged it into the Macbook instead. (This also took that G5 offline, so that there was only the other G5 and the G4 on the LAN, just in case having four computers in the network was one too many for some carrier-imposed reason, as you suggested.) The results were the same. The other two Macs could still get on the Internet, could still see and connect to each other, and could still see the Macbook but not connect to it (Connection failed). The Macbook could also still get on the Internet, while not detecting the other two Macs. We tried turning off Airport in the Prefs, leaving only the Ethernet connection to the modem, but nothing changed that way either. All same. Then, with the Ethernet cable still connected to the Macbook, we restarted the Macbook in Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode everything remained the same: all three Macs can get on the Internet, the G5 and the G4 can see and connect to each other, and they can see the Macbook without being able to connect to it. The Macbook, on the other hand, sees no other computer, but it can get on the Internet. In short, we're right back where we started, no matter what we do. Is there anything else we might try, or should we just be resigned to the fact that one of our four Macs just doesn't want to play with the other three?

Oops, I almost forgot there were Intel Macs old enough to run Leopard. You might want to upgrade your Intel Mac to Snow Leopard, or Lion, but that's up to you. With Leopard, reinstall the 10.5.8 Combo Update, it's universal so there's only one version for both your PPC Macs Intel, but you don't need to do anything to the PPC Macs, the problem is with the Intel MacBook only.

Re: daisy-chaining back up drive? Use Ethernet LAN
Maybe I don't know enough to recognize the problem, but I use one drive for multiple G4 computers running Mac OS 9.2.2 all the time. One G4 computer is used as a Server to which the drive is physically connected by firewire or USB. Then several G4 computers and multiple LaserWriter 16/600 printers are connected through Ethernet to the Server. The Server's File Sharing is turned on so all the other computers can communicate with the server and they use TCP/IP to communicate. All the computers can select whichever printer they want to use too. Thus not only can the Server access and use the drive on the server but the other computers can access and use that drive at the same time, they just can't access the same document at the same time but CAN access the same file folder at the same time so long as each opens different documents in the folder. Each computer has its own applications folder, but by keeping data files on the drive attached to the server whether they are generated by the server or one of the remote G4 computers, only that drive needs to be backed up to assure all the data from all the computers are backed up at the same time. You can even have the server's internal drive partitioned, which makes each partition function like a totally distinct drive. Thus one partition can be the one containing the server's system folder and the other partition can be used as a data drive. Then set the server to allow access to that partition being used as a data drive and all the other computers can access it to read and write documents to it. I seem to recall even using my MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8 on the network to share the drive too.

I think OS X SMB version is about 5 updates behind the current stable SMB release? I don't understand why someone doesn't compile the current release for OS X and make it available? Because it isn't necessarily as easy as that? smbd version number in OS X is Version 3.0.25b-apple which means Apple's done things to it. simply swapping in the currentversion could well break things. I was unaware Apple messed with Samba. It appears you're correct, the needed patches for OS X are evidently available here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.6/samba-187.8/patches/ According to: http://news.samba.org/releases/ version 3.0.25b was a normal release from June 26th, 2007. I count these as standard stable releases since then: 3.0.25c, 3.0.26, 3.0.26a, 3.0.27, 3.0.27a, 3.0.28, 3.0.28a, 3.0.29, 3.0.30, 3.0.33, 3.0.34, 3.2.0, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5, 3.2.6, 3.2.7, 3.2.8, 3.2.9 and the current stable release 3.3.0. This means Apple is not 5 updates behind, but a staggering 20 updates behind. Remember, these are only counting standard stable releases, not any alpha, beta releases, or release candidates. The current bleeding edge is version 4.0.0 alpha 3. I'd like to see someone apply the Apple patches and see if the current version works? Probably too risky for your average user. I don't have any PCs on my network or else I'd give it a try. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
