    Resolved Networking Woes: Airdrop, AFP, SMB

    I'm posting this only because it seems so baffling and because someone else might run in to the same thing. This morning my wife needed to access an iCloud file from her MBA still on Catalina 10.15.7. The original file was on her M1 iMac sitting right next to the MBA and connected to the same...

    Has Anyone Successfully Networked macOS to Windows 11?

    Hello Mac friends. If anyone has successfully networked macOS Monterey to their Windows 11 PC at another room, what settings did you apply for both macOS Monterey and Windows 11? Successfully networked would mean: - you can transfer files from macOS to the PC - you can print from macOS using...

    Internet access broken, requires reboot to fix

    So my M1 Mac Mini on Monterey has developed a weird issue over the last week. I get to it in the morning and I can't access anything on the internet. I believe that the machine is still on the network because my Apple Watch still unlocks it, and if I'm remembering right, that requires wifi to be...

    'metadata.o.config', should I be concerned?

    For a vast number of reasons I cannot get into, over the past month, I have been convinced that someone installed a key logger and other spyware on my Macboook Pro, running Big Sur. Today, I upgraded to macOS v. 11.2.3, and when I logged back in, I discovered a 'recovered files' folder in my...

    Very slow access to SMB and AFP shares

    As much as I love my new M1 Macbook Air, one thing that it has huge issues with is accessing shares on my Qnap server. I've setup both SMB and AFP shares, and they are slow, disconnect all the time, and generally are a huge pain. Pretty much unusable at times. My Windows 10 laptop has zero...

    Are most modern wireless routers Time Machine compatible via wifi?

    I'm going to be replacing a dying Time Capsule and I have to admit that I haven't kept up to date with wireless routers. My parents have Comcast Xfinity for their ISP and I set the cable modem / wireless router device into bridge mode in order to use a Time Capsule as the router. Can I buy...

    Chromecast and mDNS / IGMP

    Hey all, hope this day finds you well. I am looking for some clarification on recommended router settings when it comes to multicast / mDNS, and IGMP. Google's documentation seems to be very vague on the topic. According to Google, they say if you're running chromecast v1 to enable multicast...

    Ethernet switch wreaking havoc on my network

    I'm going a bit crazy trying to solve this one, so maybe the MacRumors family can point me in the right direction... Something is fishy with my network. I've recently added a 5-port unmanaged ethernet switch (TP-Link TL-SG105) to my network. When the switch is connected to my Verizon FiOS G1100...

    Looking for feedback from ZeroTier users

    Hey everyone. I know I'm new here as a user, but have been here on & off as a lurker. My wife is a former Apple employee, and I grew up using the pre-MacOS hardware (more a WinLin guy now); I've had to do my fair share of MacOS support in IT. Anyway, I started working for ZeroTier last week, and...

    Bottlenecks & unpacking the limits of 10/100 Ethernet on iBook G3 clamshell

    To be blunt, I’ve been torn between posting this on the Server/Networking sub-forum or over here, but as it focusses mostly on legacy equipment and Ethernet protocols, the balance seems tipped to favour here. [Mods: you’re welcome to move this over to the other sub-forum if this more...
