Hi ajs,
I’ve been having the same problem on our local network with a G5 on 10.3.9. All network traffic just drops off for a couple of minutes meaning any users on a managed account can’t do jack. Then suddenly everything springs back into life. The error log is full of:
localhost DirectoryService[257]: NetInfo connection failed for server 127.0.0.1/local
localhost DirectoryService[257]: NetInfo connection failed for server 127.0.0.1/local
localhost lookupd[275]: dsstore_fetch_internal 177 Store.1056 _dsstore_dsrecord_fread failed at offset %s
You chaps found any solutions to this yet?
