Re: Argh! I hate that I am going to ask this. (UPDATE)

Ok, still no joy with Mac clients connecting to Mac X Server 10.4.1.

Windows clients (XP and 2K) connect, validating via LDAPv3 without any problem what so ever. However, for the life of me, I cannot get any Mac clients to authenticate either via LDAP or Netinfo.

Settings on a client Mac as follows:

Mac OS X 10.3.X or 10.4.X

Directory Access settings are:

LDAP  Services - 
    Use DHCP supplied LDAP server - Off
    Enable - On
    Server Name or IP = 192.168.0.200
    LDAP Mappings - From Server
    SSL = Off
        Authentication tab - /NetInfo/root (which is ghosted)
                                /LDAPv3/192.168.0.200 (not ghosted)

Netinfo Settings - 

Attempt using     Broadcast protocol - Unchecked
                              Attempt using DHCP - Unchecked
                              Attempt using specific Netinfo Server - Checked
                                    Server IP Address = 192.168.0.200
                                    Server tag = X-Server (name of the server)


I can't use DHCP to do this as, when I switch DHCP on on the server, it causes the PC's stress (as they get their IP numbers at the moment from a router which also NAT's). In our lab, which is also X-Served, the netinfo settings above (except that the Server Tag is called something else), works 100% reliably for about 55 Mac clients (and no PC's), although this is Jaguar server.

Beginning to worry a little now as the deadline approaches (next Monday). I appreciate anyone having a look at this and asking me any and all (obvious and less obvious), questions.

Strangely enough - I have exactly the same problem at our other school using Panther 10.3.X Server. PC's work fine - Mac's won't authenticate at all. It makes me think I am making a fundamental error, but I can't seem to see the wood for the (OUCH! My head!).
