    Server's static IP address used by another device???

    I finally found the culprit, it was an HP laserjet 2100nt printer. I disconnected it for now to see if any other device comes up with the same address. Now I have another issue. I had to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS X so I have issues with the DNS server. I can't put the FQDN of...

    Server's static IP address used by another device???

    I do have a list of the machines with their Ethernet ID's but none of them match the ID I saw on the alert message. I am going to turn off the printers, maybe they are the devices causing the trouble. What I don't understand is, why there is another device with the server's IP if the server has...

    The following error comes up on the server's screen when I turn on the stations: "IP 10.37.102.21 is used by 00:0d:95:34:ee:60" Another device in my room or building is using the server's static IP address, this causes connectivity problems. I loose connection to the server. How do I find out...

    Display Login Window doesn't show List of Users!

    Hi, These acccounts are "network" accounts, created using WorkGroup Manager. I tried deleting the loginwindow.plist files and some others but it didn't work. I also did an "archive" install with no luck. Someone mentioned on the Apple forum to reformat the drive and start from the beginning...

    Display Login Window doesn't show List of Users!

    I work in an Elementary School with a server running OS X 10.3.9. The client computers log in fine to the server, I have the login window set up to Display name and password because if I use Display List of Users, I only see two icons, "admin" and "others", I don't see a list of my users. This...

    Problems with connections to 10.3.9 XServer

    Fantastic! Now I feel like I am getting somewhere. What confuses me is WorkGroupManager. When I click on the little globe to change a directory, I am uncertain as to which directory I should be logging in, either the 127.0.0.1 or the one with the server's static IP address. I can work with WGM...

    Problems with connections to 10.3.9 XServer

    Michael, Is this what you are referring to? To change a server’s IP address: 1-Run the changeip tool: $ changeip [(directory|-)] old-ip new-ip [old-hostname new-hostname] For more information or examples, see the man page. 2-Use the networksetup or serversetup command (or the Network...

    Problems with connections to 10.3.9 XServer

    Hi Michael, This a good starting point, where would I find the changeip scripts to change the IP in the server? In WGM if I work remotely, let's say, in my workstation, should I log into the directory using the IP of the server not the 127.0.0.1 directory, or it doesn't matter? Thanks for your...

I gave the server another static IP address and ran the Server...
