software update and idisk

since the software update, i can't mount internet disks. I have both an idisk and a jungle disk (which i highly highly highly recommend), and none of them will mount. error -50. is it the mds update that fucked up everything?

Author Update #1 @shitan 2008-03-21

The security update + Safari 3.1 + time machine update.

Author Update #2 @shitan 2008-03-22

I dunno, I use the same old network driver. I have a nforce4 and marvell yukon, but bios-deactivated, and i access internet through firewire (using my macbook as an expensive wireless modem), but I ma pretty sure it worked before the security update, actually (i mean, it definitely worked, and pretty sure it worked with firewire/ip).
ahhh. fuck this.

Author Update #3 @shitan 2008-03-22

ok, i am an idiot. Somehow the permissions were messed up by the update (?!), so a disk utility/repair permissions solved everything. Bizarre, though.

Field Note #1 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-21

That's odd. Was there any update you installed recently? If so, which one?

Field Note #2 @pαuℓzurrr. 2008-03-21

Do you also have the problem that you can't connect to any shared pc's in finder or connect to a server?

Field Note #3 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-21

I'm hoping the security update wasn't the cause for this.

Field Note #4 @agrafuese 2008-03-21

shouldn't be. i'm fine over here. shitan, what network driver are you using again?

Field Note #5 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-21

Let me study this carefully.

Field Note #6 @agrafuese 2008-03-21

hehe, sorry, don't mean to step on your toes. by all means. i was actually asking because i had problems with network when i was using forcedeth drivers (on another osx partition, not my main one), and it just dawned on me that i had recently updated with safari + security. but the updates with skge driver are fine (for me).

Field Note #7 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-21

no, no, I'm talking about what you said buddy. I said let me study this in my mind so I can generate a new suggestion, lol. Don't worry, =), its just me personally, lol.

Field Note #8 @agrafuese 2008-03-22

oh, yes. now i remember the expensive wireless modem you have (i laugh about it every time, no offense). that sucks man. wish i had a suggestion. "ahhh. fuck this." <---- that's exactly how i've been feeling lately

Field Note #9 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-22

He is using his Macbook as the router.

Field Note #11 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-22

Permissions could have also been resolved through the Onyx Utility, but you still did good. No doubt about it.
