`Connection failed' - 10.6 filesharing problem
in [UK Mac]
|
From: Rowland McDonnell on 10 Jul 2010 09:40 I've got two Intel Macs, both on 10.6, both connected to the gigabit Ethernet side of the home LAN (the rest of it's 100 Mbit/s). One of them is connected to the other doing file sharing. When I try to connect the other way, I get `connection failed'[1]. `But it worked fine yesterday', I bleated pathetically `And both of them can see teh interweb an' all that'. Can anyone give me a pointer as to what to look at? I'm about to try rebooting one then the other and I expect it'll all work perfectly okay after I've done so. But I can't help feeling that there's a process running on one other other of the Macs in question that just needs restarting or similar. Anyone got a clue? Cheers, Rowland. [1] Which is annoying: the iMac upstairs keeps the music on its huge HDD, and I was wanting to play that music downstairs on the proper stereo via the MacBook.

Mac OS X filesharing still doesn't work as reliably as that of System 7. Daniele

Every time I go to connect to my wife's iMac, I have to wait while it says "Connecting..." until it says "Connection Failed" before I can click the "Connect As..." button to enter username and password which then connects without problem. Irritating, but I'm so used to it now I hardly even notice it. -- Pd

Many things in MacOS X are worse than in System 7.6.1.

That may be a bad keychain whatsit, if a wrong user name/password combo is sent it'll do that. -- Sara Run out of ideas for a sig for the moment |
