    start up disk warning

    If you have a lot of files in your User name folder, and you have FileVault turned on, I suggest if you don't need FileVault, turn it off - its in the System Preferences under FileVault I think.

    fat32 mounted as unknown in tiger

    If you have a windows machine, run scandisk, you may have incorrect volume header information - I'm not sure if Disk utility can fix that.

    Cluster Node

    Thank you so much, that helps a lot. Ok, sounds to me like you need to change your subnet mask. What is your current subnet mask? For that many ID's you'd need to have a subnet mask of at least 255.240.0.0 That is what sounds like the problem very well could be. Then you have a range of...

    Cluster Node

    That's true, what am I thinking. Well, could you better explain how things are setup on the server - NIC card wise. Sorry. AHHH EDIT: Connection wise, any routers, hubs, etc. How are the NIC Cards set in, are they in Ports like PCI-X (not to be confused with PCI-Express which doesn't exist on...

    How do you have the NIC's connect externally? EDIT: And can you please type out your explanations full - instead of "WE have Apple Xserve Cluster with 40 node" - type We have an Apple Xserve Cluster with 40 nodes. At the present time we have 2 NIC's on the master (I'm guessing Master Node) -...

    Why do I need OS X Server?

    You can enable it so that they can FTP to your drop box, or you could create a new user and have your clients know that user name and password so they're not using your name or that. Or you could create them their own. To connect to shares on your server at the office, press CMD+K then type in...

    Problem with External HD

    You may have to reformat it cause it sounds like it may - more like probably - has errors in the FS. If you have your tiger cd's connect up the drive and boot off of the CD's. That may just may let you connect it in order to repair it. Otherwise google for an application on Windoze to fix it.

    is this connection possible?

    100ft patch cable sound good? If not, there are connectors where you can connect your ethernet to your wall outlet via a plug and and do it like that. It just transfers the data through the wiring in your house. Google it. Other than that, you could get wireless (very unreliable) with some...

    If anything I recommand connecting afp://ip_address_to_your_home - just a common question, you do have a static IP address to your home lan line right? Just making sure. Just start with the basics other than that.

    Mac OSX Server, iMac/Windows Clients...

    Easy Way To Change Folder Permissions

    Highlight all of them right click and change the permissions that way - or add the staff to a special group that would allow read and write access to the folders in other words allow them to read and write to that folder. That'd be a way to do it also.

    Why do I need OS X Server?

    Mac OS X Server isn't hard to maintain, to be quite honest I'm 17 and I'm the admin for the Macintosh's at my school.
