I am having major issues with Leopard networking

With tiger i used to go in and set the thing on a local domain (HOME) but now it appears to auto pickup pcs etc.

Well i have enabled file sharing SMB and AFP sharing

Now NO pc can connect to the mac and the mac can't connect to any VISTA based pc, just says connection refused.

This issue has just happened with leopard, it was working fine in tiger, as vista could connect etc

How can i get my pc to connect to my mac shares and my mac to connect to my pc shares

All works fine here. No issue at all with Vista accessing my Leopard MBP or with my MBP accessing my Vista machine.

I activated normal file sharing in Vista selected the Folders I wanted to share and made sure the network my Vista machine was connected to was set to Private (for file sharing to activate it needs to be set to private).

From my Leopard install I just naturally access the machine through the finder or through my own Aliass to certain folders on the Vista machine.

For Vista to access my Leopard machine I activated Windows sharing on Leopard and mapped the computer from the Vista explorer. All worked fine there (Although I had to enter my Username and Password the first time I set it up).

It's quite easy to do takes 5 minutes I'd say.

I have done this

My Vista computer or any other computer on the network doesn't show up in finder

Which method did you use? AFP, FTP, or SMB?

SMB of course. Just the normal built in file sharing provided by Vista.

I've done this for 12 months, it also worked fine in in the following configurations:

XP <-> Tiger

XP <-> Leopard

Vista <-> Tiger

Vista <-> Leopard

With zero problems with anything. My Vista machine will never appear in the Finder of my Leopard machine if I have the local network set to Public however. It must be set to Private for it to be detected and show up in the Finder.

Yeah I can't get them to talk to each other no matter what I do. Can you give a step by step of what to do

I switched it to smb and it says to access go to "smb://192.xxx.x.xx" which fails

And again, my vista network is set to private, and the macbook still doesn't see it.

I had to do a terminal hack of sorts to get mine to connect to the network shares at work. I don't have the site though, the problem was that leopard by default sends it's passwords encrypted, windows by default doesn't support encrypted passwords unless it is enabled, so windows was seeing a scrambled mess instead of my password. Mind you this was on a domain but it could be happening for you too.

My huge issue is that I can't save anything to the network drives. It's that >4k bug, and it's killing me. I often deal with huge photoshop files (graphic designer) and not being able to transfer anything to the network drives at work to share with others is becoming a pain in the ass.

Yeah :/ I guess I'll just have to use flash drives to transfer files. Maybe 10.5.2 will fix it.

You mean this? https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=535088

Where you have to to dumb down Vista's SMB security level to talk to OS X? OS X (Tiger) has a really old version of the Samba protocol...don't know about Leopard.

i got it figured out

with tiger i am used to it poping up a login box asking you to login but with leopard it looks like they removed that wonderfull feature and replaced it with a connect as button.....

They removed it because you don't always need to login to get to a share.

I can browse the PCs (some XP some Vista) on this network without a password. With a password I can access a little more.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
