2a.: Re: Copying networked files

Todd,
In a Finder window I click on a networked computer icon under
"Shared" in the left column. Then I click on the "Connect As..."
button below the tool bar. I enter the user name and password in the
dialog that appears. I now see 3 folders, each with the "shared" icon
on them (3 stick figures).

I then open a folder on my computer's hard drive. I drag one of the
networked computer's folders onto the folder on my HD. As I drag the
folder, it turns into an alias icon. I drop the folder icon and I see
an alias of the folder.

Not sure what to do now...

Thanks,
Dave

3a.: "Another device using IP address"

Posted by: "DaveC" davec2468@yahoo.com davec2468

Small business has ATT / 2-Wire (model 2701HG-B) router. Connected
via Ethernet is a 1TB Time Capsule. The office Macs (2) are connected
to the router wirelessly.

All too frequently, a message comes up on one of the iMacs (one
particular one and only that one) that another device on the network
is using the same IP address. This does not occur when visitors (with
laptops or iPhones) are on-site.

The router is configured to deliver all IP addresses via DHCP. There
are no fixed IP addresses.

If it weren't for the fact that visitors with laptops and iPhones
sometimes want access to this network, I would filter access using
MAC hardware addresses. But that's not possible.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

how often does your DHCP lease renew?
maybe that particular mac isn't renewing often enough?

I recommend that you run all of the routine maintenance suggested at:

Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html

and see if that helps.

If it does not, try this:

Launch Activity Monitor (in your Applications/Utilities folder), and
click on the "%CPU" header, and then click on the triangle in the %CPU
header so that things are ordered in that column from largest to
least. See what is running that is using the most CPU time. If
something has a really high number, this is likely to be something
that is causing a system-wide
slowdown. Let me know what that thing is, and I can tell you how to
deal with it.

If you have startup items enabled, or Web browser extensions (such as
Flash) installed, or system extensions installed, and any of them are
outdated with respect to the version of OS X your are running, they
could be dragging your entire computer down.
