Problems OS6 and AFP?
after years of finding lots of useful information here i finally gave up guest and registered. i'm not sure this is the right part of the forum but in fact for me os 6 it looks a lot like beta after ...
just a bit more information regardigns the afp problems: you can't authorize over the finder sidebar. you always get authorisation failed. when you use the "connect to server" menu, it works, but the mounted share is bound (at least optical in the finder) not to NSA(afp) but to NAS, which should be the timemachine announcement. and to make things even more difficult, it'S shown there, but as soon as you select it you get and authorisation failed.
i know that official netgear support has vanished here in the forum. and after seeing this afp mess with os6 i'm a bit hopeless regarding the future of the product line. i can't imagine that someone at netgear really tried afp before shipping the first boxes. looks like an public beta test to me. i mean the problems are not hidden ones. as soon as you start with users - bang. perhaps they tried guest access and nothing else.
i'm not going to contact tech support again, i didn't get the impression they wanted to help. we send screenshots and logs but they were unable to try it out themselves (no testbox because new, wtf).
so i sent the box back and until i read somewhere that afp works perfectly again with os6 we sell synology or qnap in the meantime.
i they are not willing to gibve some ressources for support including testing in house, no idea where this will end.
