Cannot install client on Mac
Verfasst: 18. Aug 2022, 21:46
I have had Lights-Out 3 running since shortly after it was introduced. I encountered NO problems.
However, I had to reformat my HD and reinstall macOS (currently Monterey, 12.5), and that requires reinstalling the Lights-Out 3 Client for Mac. I went through the preparation steps as specified in the manual. Mono installed easily. But I cannot ping the server. It works with servername.local, but even after adding "local" to the DNS Search-Domains list, ping still cannot resolve the name, in my case, "Synology." I even tried adding both "local" and ".local" and then rebooting the computer, but I cannot ping it without adding ".local" to the ping command. The iMac has both an Ethernet and a Wi-Fi connection. I added "local" to the Search-Domains box in both the Ethernet and the Wi-Fi sections of the Mac's Network pane in System preferences, and turned Wi-Fi off with no result
macOS Finder locates "Synology" on the network readily, and I can connect to it perfectly.
The Lights-Out Client installs and connects to the NAS, but it connects via "Synology.local," and it does not allow me to turn off the NAS. That's listed as "forbidden on this device."
Clues: If I select from the Finder menu Go/Connect to Server, I can do that using the smb protocol, but if I try the afp protocol, the computer automatically expands "afp://Synology" to "afp://Synology._afpovertcp._tcp.local," and that does connect."
Any suggestions?
