Server "Connection failed" warning

Anonymous
Not applicable
A9 is ArchiCAD-version 9.

"Connection failed"

Warning (see below) pops up with certain actions in A9. If I'm "mid-click" and don't hit the OK button before doing anything else, then an A9 window covers the warning and the rainbow wheel spins out of control and I must "force quite" A9. I lose work and time.

We use a G4 as our server and we use a PC and my G5 networked into the G4. One thing that might have caused this problem is that the Library for the job we're working on was loaded into the job file on the Server from the file on the PC. There may be a connection issue related to that as things worked very well before.

If I catch the OK button in time, work goes on until the next appearance of the same warning.

In Plotmaker the warning pops up twice for every updated sheet.

Anybody???

Editing the plist files worked here. I downloaded "Property List Editor" via versiontracker.com to make the editing easier.

Yes that fixed our problem with connection errors also but we still have the other problems.
