Back to my Mac problems under Yosemite

Since updating to Yosemite a couple of days ago my B2myMac feature has stopped functioning. It is activated in the Sharing Preferences and I didn't change anything on the router settings. In the iCloud settings it says (in french): that B2myMac doesn't work properly because the DNS server doesn't respond _ that I should contact my ISP in order to get a new DNS server address


I am accessing Internet via a Fritzbox router and everything worked just fin under Mavericks

iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

FWIW, BTMM seems to be working for me now for nearly two weeks. Here's what I did on each machine:


1) Log in to your account on the machine

2) Ensure it's running Yosemite 10.10.3

3) Turn OFF screen sharing (or Remote Management if you're an ARD user)

4) Sign OUT of your iCloud account

5) Sign back IN to your iCloud account

5) Turn screen sharing (or Remote Management) back ON


Obviously this won't help you if you don't have physical access. Also, I'm still having issues connecting to sleeping machines but that's always been an issue for me, even before Yosemite. I still have machines that I don't have physical access to that I haven't tried this with yet. However, my wife's MacBook, my Mini server and my parent's MacBook and iMac have been steadily accessible now for a couple weeks or so. YMMV.

After months of BTMM futility, I reluctantly followed the advice of a senior advisor. I confirmed I had a current Time Machine backup, then erased the Mac's hard drive and installed OS 10.10.4. I used Migration Assistant to restore everything from the Time Machine backup EXCEPT Computer and Network Settings. It was a time consuming pain, but BTMM is functioning normally again.
