HELLO!
I have hooked up the server at our new 3 person studio. In general, typically, it works just fine. 3 mac's accessing a Mac Mini Server OSX 10.6.8 through ethernet. I am having some problems however creep up again and again...
These problems in general are:
-File Permissions on server are inconsistent and changeable.
-Conflicting IP address arise from time to time.
How to diagnose??? PLEASE ADVICE BRILLIANT MAC PEEPS!
Background:
-3 macs running SL to ML, connected to the server via ethernet
-Mac Mini running OSX server 10.6.8, recently updated with a sata connection to a g-drive raid 5 hd
-airport time capsule for occasional wifi connections and time machine support for the server
-verizon router for internet
I connected everything together using a somewhat convoluted system... Perhaps the problem lies there:
-The internet goes from the verizon router to the time capsule to the server
-the three macs go to the extra ethernet ports in the back of the verizon router as well as the time capsule
It all usually works... HOW DO I BEGIN DIAGNOSING MY PERSISTENT YET INCONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH THIS WACKY SERVER SETUP?
thanks so much,
Richard
