Server : xServe running 10.4.11

Login with AFP is successful with

Clients:

all 10.6.x all 10.4.x

Login fails ( or more accurately never produces a login dialog window, just get a "Connecting to afp://x.x.x.x" message with barber pole progress bar ) with any 10.5.x client ( workstation or server ) There is another 10.4.11 server in this network that allows 10.4, 10.6 and 10.5 clients to connect without issues. Any ideas?

I'd check each servers settings as to what forms of authentication are permitted. Use Server Admin to look at the settings in the AFP section each server.

Authentication is set for "Any" ( Standard or Kerberos ) on all the AFP servers. – mozzer Apr 13 '11 at 13:19

Try to connect to server from command line, it will produce more likely an error code.

sudo mount -t afp afp://user:pass@_server_ip_address/share /Volumes/share

/Volumws/share must exists before

Alternative method:

sudo mount_afp afp://user:pass.@_server_ip_address/share /Volumes/share

I can't seem to get that command to work on OS X AFP servers here that don't seem to have this particular issue either. I tried 'man' mount_afp to no avial. Thanks though. – mozzer Apr 12 '11 at 18:18
I added an alternative method using mount_afp – BobC Apr 14 '11 at 8:57
