Resolving 'Connect to Server...' connection problems
Authored by: ericnentrup on Nov 02, '04 10:42:07PM
Hey there...SIMILAR problem...I have a PowerMac hardwired to my wireless router and a PowerBook connecting to it via AirPort Express. I sit and swivel between the two while working and am often grabbing files from one and copying them to the other. And part of that "highway" has broken down:

My PowerMac all of the sudden, doesn't want to allow my PB to access SOME of the volumes, INCLUDING my user folder. But it's not ALL of the volumes.

Via the Network Pane, I get to the password, and the volumes list pops up. I click on some and they mount on my PowerBook. But my PM's user folder, and a couple of the other drives DON'T MOUNT and when I double click on the PM's shortcut again, the Volumes list shows THOSE volumes as greyed out.

I've reinstalled OS X on the PM...I've created a new "dummy" account to see what was up. I fear either a corrupt file or an invisible file is the culprit....thoughts?

Permissions?
Authored by: EatingPie on Nov 03, '04 07:58:45AM

You may have thought of this already, but are the permissions set properly? And do you log in as ... well ... you when you connect?

Not sure if that will help, but may be worth a look.
