10.4.11 Networking Woes

Hi BDAqua,

Thanks for your quick response.

I have tried the "Go->Connect to Servers..." Most times it gives me a message saying the "Server Connection Interrupted" or "Connection Failed. The server may not exist or it is not operation at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again".

I have the computers set with static IP's, so I don't think the aliases have the wrong IP assignments. My desktop (PPC) is always 10.10.10.30, my other desktop (PPC) is always 10.10.10.20 and my laptop (Intel) is always 10.10.10.10

I will try to run Applejack....see if it produces any results.

Okay, I ran applejack on both computers, to no avail. I'm still getting the same problems. I try to connect to the computer by double clicking it in the Network window, and it fails, spitting up a "Connection Failed" or "Server Connection Interrupted" or "Broken Alias" message.

Okay, so I've discovered that the AppleFileServer crashed. When ever I try to connect to my PowerMac G5 desktop from either my PowerMac G4 desktop or MacBookPro, it will crash the File Sharing on the G5, and this message shows up in the console:

Nov 27 12:01:42 Computer-Name crashdump[1197]: AppleFileServer crashed
Nov 27 12:01:42 Computer-Name crashdump[1197]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/AppleFileServer.crash.log

And the crash log indicates the following:

Yup, that did it. I too found the macosxhints page earlier today, and was going to post of my success. Thanks everyone for the help. What a tough one to track down.
