Any help with the following hurdles will be much appreciated – then I’ll be home and dry …
Briefly:
Using 10.3.5 (server / desktop) and Airport Extreme on eMacs / Xserve.
Our network is a Windows set up. The wired Mac clients (35 G4s) have their own IP range set aside for static IPs. The Subnet is 255.255.0.0.
The Airport eMacs have to access the network through our wireless security arrangement, which is utilising IPsec certificates through a seperate switch. This means they have IPs from a different range to the wired Macs. The subnet is 255.255.255.0. The router is also different.
1) Although I added the Airport Macs to WGM computer lists using name and MAC address, I don’t think they are being ‘picked up’ as although users can login to the Xserve over Airport, the Xserve only imposes GROUP prefs., not Computer prefs. Therefore, no dock prefs etc.
2) The Airport Macs have their Network Prefs manually assigned in Airport config (TCP/IP), and then they can’t scan the base station in Airport Admin. It’s just gone. As soon as I switch to DHCP, it’s back.
3) What about Classic ? Airport clients:- Quark 5 cannot now find the liscense file which is being held on the Windows PDC, is this because of the different IP range ?
4) any tips for autostarting IPsecuritas (www.lobotomo.com) ? I’m going to try the Startup items article tomorrow …
many thanks
Right.
I’ve looked through the Startup Items article and I already have a folder in Library/StartupItems for IPSecuritas (which I need to start at boot). It has a script, a Startup…plist and a .plist called IPSecuritasAutoStarter.
The problem is it’s just not working. Response from lobotomo.com support is slow. Has anyone used IPSecuritas and made it autostart ?
Without connecting to the network this way my Airport client Macs do not pick up the computer prefs from WGM on the Xserve…
thanks
