I have a problem with an Powerbook G4 that won't connect to a remote server (the server is the Mac Mini that I've mentioned 2 weekes ago and it works GREAT even if it handles only 10 users at a time)
The thing is that it seems to be only this computer's problem because all the other Panther powerred G5 iMacs and G4 Powerbooks connect having no difficulties.
The actual error is that when I connect to the Mini Mac server, it is able to see the server, but when I enter the user and password it displays that round multicolor ball giving the impression that is connecting. However it doesn't connect at all.
There are some shortcuts placed in the finder window (lower left side, just under the home directory type of shortcut) that go directly to the server. I've used this shortcuts until few days ago and they worked fine.
Can someone tell me what to do to be able to connect to that server (the server is on LAN and I haven't tried to exceed the 10 max connections at the same time)
10x
PS: A few months ago I've had a somehow similar problem with an iMac G5 (also using Panther) when trying to connect to a server (wich was on the internet not LAN). I had this kind of shortcuts than too. Also I've had the user and password in my keychain. The thing is that at that time it seemed that the user and password saving damaged my keychain in some manner. I reinstalled everything and didn't saved anymore the user and password and I didn't have that problem again. Could this be the case now also?
