[QUOTE="BigDog021582, post: 950013, member: 133045"] [b]MacBook Not Playing Nice with Mac Servers, but loves Windows Servers?![/b] Hello everyone... I just joined this forum, so if this particular issue has already been answered someplace else, I hope that someone will point me there. I have a lot of reading to do here... Anyway, as far as this problem goes, here's what I can add to it: I actually have the issue where none of our Mac shares are showing in the sidebar, but all of the Windows shares are there. It almost looks like afp was somehow "turned off". The problem with that is that a cmd-k and the fqdn gives me access to the appropriate share(s). In fact, the Mac share then shows up in the side bar all alone, among 20 or so Windows Shares. Another interesting point is that if I do a cmd-k with the 'hostname'.local (instead of hostname.domain.com or fqdn) it fails to connect. Anyone know what would cause that? I already checked DNS... looks good. By the way, this is only happening on one of our MacBooks, and all of the other Macs seem to not be flaky like this one. We've cleared all of the caches, preferences, and even the logs. Rebooted the system, and still the same symptoms. This is now starting to cause bootup issues, as error messages are hammering the user stating that the server cannot be found, because it's looking for hostname.local, instead of the hostname.domain.com names. I've compared the settings of this computer to other Macs that are working perfectly fine, and I'm still stuck with one Mac that doesn't want to cooperate with me. The one thing that I read in another forum was that early releases of Leopard may have had some bugs in it that seem to make net admins' lives miserable, but how accurate is that? If anyone can help / point me in the right direction, that would be great and I would sure appreciate it very much. Thank you!! [/QUOTE]
