Was it already with Jaguar that you succeeded?
Or with a prior MacOS version?
Just to check that the basics of program linking work, could you try
something like this on each of your machines:
property remote_IP : "eppc://127.0.0.1"
using terms from application "Finder"
tell application "finder" of machine remote_IP
beep
end tell
end using terms from
If it doesn't work, this would mean that you have a real problem (or
just bad settings) with program linking: it would be failing even locally...
If it works, try then on your client:
property remote_IP : "eppc://192.168.2.2"
using terms from application "Finder"
tell application "finder" of machine remote_IP
beep
end tell
end using terms from
Also check that trying without / with an opened user session on the
server doesn't have an influence (I'm not sure that apple events may be
sent to a machine just showing a login window, and since you are
targeting a server that usually runs in such a state...).
Finally, if it still doesn't work, and since your network seems to be OK
(according to your ping/AFP testings), could be in relationship with DNS.
I remember having read somewhere that with certain versions of OS X (or
under certain circumstances?), program linking tends to perform a
reverse lookup.
IP address 127.0.0.1 is already associated to name "localhost", so that
that reverse lookup succeeds.
But it is very likely that IP address "192.168.2.2" isn't associated to
any name.
If you feel confident with such operations, you could try to define
machine "MyServer" with appropriate IP address in NetInfo on your
client, and then try again?
