Sybase needs to be up and running while compiling the database kit example pubsdemo or else ProjectBuilder will hang and crash the machine and you have to reset it.

That is so weird. I've never heard of a compile-time dependency like it before.

Well we will wait for someone else to confirm as well.

I just tried it and yes, ping Lamps-Plus gives the same error

Ah, the convoluted joys of network configuration!

Thes reason i asked is that i noted on my own system that some hosts were not pingable when adding the .local domain extension to the bare hostname, or the reverse, while others worked both ways. And i still can't see any reason or pattern explaining this due to lack of prior experience with things avahi.

So, for the time being, no further questions asked from my side.
Neither can i provide any useful answer.

While we are at it, please also make sure to have installed following three packages:

Code Select Expand

# apt-get -m -t bookworm-backports install avahi-autoipd libnss-mdns mdns-scan
No promises this makes a difference in your specific case, but we've seen before how missing components negatively affect function.

  Sybase needs to be up and running while compiling the database kit example pubsdemo or else ProjectBuilder will hang and crash the machine and you have to reset it.

  When you are using Interface Builder on NS3.3 and if the DBModeler does not appear or load click on Open Palette on Interface Builder and load from /NextDeveloper/Palettes/.

  EDIT: These are the proper steps if DBModeler do not appear in Interface Builder.

IB -> Tools -> Palettes -> Open
and load in the file from /NextDeveloper/Palettes/DatabaseKit.palette

Thanks so much for bearing with me.

I have to rather thank you for bearing with me.

Take a look at this example where I can ping my device called Lamps-Plus.local with IP 192.168.0.98 but if I use its hostname, it does not resolve. And yes, I restarted after installing just in case.

Does the same happen when you ping just Lamps-Plus (without .local)?

not sure if we should start a separate thread, but I loaded the forums in my iMac G4 running Mac OS X Leopard and here are the results.

Thanks so much for bearing with me. I installed the extra utilities you shared. And now the discover UI shows my devices, but DNS still does not resolve them. Take a look at this example where I can ping my device called Lamps-Plus.local with IP 192.168.0.98 but if I use its hostname, it does not resolve. And yes, I restarted after installing just in case.

I managed to solve this problem.

• I visit this site with FireFox to get the PHPSESID (Because Newmoon Browser brings up a error when clicking on "Login:")
• I then login with Newmoon Browser using the URL I got from firefox.
• Upload file via Newmoon.

  I'm glad my tech skills are OK, if I was a n00b I would be f**ked. Just need to find a way to get faster WIFI speeds

Here is the screenshot I wanted to upload a couple of days ago showing the Sybase pubs example database in DBModeler. (Ignore the date :D)
