[QUOTE="Alienx3, post: 1421707, member: 260596"] Recently, I have purchased a Virtual Private Server (for my own personal use, not going to tell why), and it seems as if I cannot connect to it via my iMac(Mac OS X 10.5.8(an 2009/2008 model, can't remember)), but I am able to connect via PC (no, I am not going to use my PC to connect to it at all times). Okay, this is the message that keeps on appearing every single time I attempt to connect on my MAC: [CENTER]"[B]The Mac cannot connect to the Windows-based computer.[/B]" "This problem can occur if: • The Windows-based computer is not set up to accept remote connections. • The Windows-based computer is not turned on. • The Mac, or the Windows-based computer is experiencing network problems. Try connecting to the Windows-based computer again, or contact your administrator."[/CENTER] This is a test on pinging to the Windows-based server: [center]"PING X.XX.XX.XXX (XX.XX.XX.XXX): 56 data bytes // IP is not actually X.XX.XX.XXX, just covered it up. ping: sendto: No route to host ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down"[/center] If it helps... the operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2.
