I have to admit that the problem went away - the server was struggling to do a firmware update, but it had been rebooted a few times. &nbsp;Thanks anyway!

I have used ARD 3.2 on my MacBook Pro running Leopard in the past to observe and control an Xserve on the same subnet running Leopard Server. I see the machine with the scanner (where it says it's running ARD 3.2.1), click the machine and then control and a window will pop up for the smallest amount of time and I can't possibly read it. I right-click the machine and go to &quot;Control&quot; and it pops up a large black screen rather than what's running on the Xserve. The Xserve is sitting at the login prompt, freshly rebooted. What should I do to get this working? Thanks!

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
