AFP - LaCie Network Space 2 - Not Working on OSX Lion 10.7

Hi,


This morning I upgraded to OS X LION 10.7.

after the upgrade my Lacie Network Space (NAS) isn't working anymore over the AFP protocol.

this is the error I got :


User uploaded file



ps: the xxxx should be an ip address but I photoshoped it, cause i don't like private information to be leaked.




Anyone who has the same problem. I contacted LaCie support line, they say it's a known problem at every NAS manufacturer and it's apple to do an update for this issue.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

It seems that apple deleted DHCAST128 in Osx lion 10.7

Because they say it's nit secure enough,

Seems that most nas systems use this.


This is how to put it back: ( disables time machine function on nas )




Open Terminal

sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.a​pple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1


reboot your Mac


Connect to the nas so it can make a profil


Open Terminal

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.a​pple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array “Cleartxt Passwrd” “MS2.0″ “2-Way Randnum exchange”

sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences


Reboot you Mac again


Now it should work





To turn it off again: ( default on lion)


Open terminal

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.a​pple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array-add “DHCAST128″

Its not about plenty of notice. Sometimes it is not possible to allocate resources to make such upgrades by all 3rd party vendors. Apple should be considerate in accomodating 3rd party. They are trying to force people to purchase Time Capsule. Looks like you have never managed people and products and worked with other companies to release products.

My dear level 7 Pondini,


Scaring people unmecessarily? Indeed. I am not too sure what could be scarier than following good advice and backing up a MBP before a major OS upgrade, then completing the upgrade only to find out there is now no way to access your backup. According to iOmega's website: https://iomega-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28279/ this is impacting all of their devices.


If I can help someone browsing this board avoid the trouble so many have run into, then the message board is a success.


Your friend,

No, it doesn't.


See where it says "Does my Iomega network device support Time Machine on Mac OS X 10.7?"


You keep saying "NO iOmega drives. . ." Most folks would think that includes their external HDs, too. There's no indication of a problem with them.

They ARE NOT DROPPING AFP !! that's just the thing


--> APPLE FILE PROTOCOL over network


they just changed it like a snap without notice or contacting any harddrive manufacturer or publishing this change.



YOu can still acces networkdrive over SMB

--> SAMBA protocols, this is the protocol that windows en linux use to connect to their HOME nas systems over the network


so if you want to connect to a server you do this:



CMD + K


in the message box you type afp://yournetworkdrive/yourfolderyouwantmap/

for smb

in the message box you type smb://yournetworkdrive/yourfolderyouwantmap/
