At Slow Firefox DNS Mac OS X Leopard I had written about a strange DNS issue with OS X and Firefox. That's gone away, but for some time now I've had a new problem: when I wake from sleep, it takes a long time before I can do any network access. Firefox and Safari just hang with spinning beach balls, ssh times out. it looks like networking is dead.

It isn't dead though: I often leave an ssh session to other machines connected when I sleep briefly. Those sessions remail connected without problem. I just can't start new sessions.

Description: This technical article shows how to enable or disable Wake on LAN access in Mac OS X. Select System Preferences from the dock. Click and open Energy Saver. Check Wake for network access to enable Wake on LAN or uncheck it to disable Wake on LAN. At Slow Firefox DNS Mac OS X Leopard I had written about a strange DNS issue with OS X and Firefox.

Pane I can see that wake for network access is missing alongside PowerNap. My SMBIOS is iMac14,2 I have tried wit others SMBIOS versions and no luck.

Maddeningly, the problem would sometimes disappear entirely, only to reappear a day or so later. I thought that an Apple update or Firefox upgrade had fixed it. but no, it came back again.

I thought it might be a DNS issue again, so I tried with hard IP addresses. No, those don't work either.

I've found plenty of similar complaints on the Net, but for wireless activity. This is happening to me with a hard Ethernet cable on en0 - I have Airport shut off most of the time. But. Airport did give me a clue.

I noticed that when I happened to be using Airport, whether here or elsewhere, I wouldn't get the sleep problem. As I said, I usually have Airport shut off. I don't know why - I just don't like anything running if I'm not using it. So I usually have it shut off.

Aug 07, 2018  FTP was removed in macOS High Sierra and macOS Mojave, but ftp and ftp server do remain in older versions of Mac OS and Mac OS X system software, even if the ftp server has to be manually activated with launchctl. In some older versions of Mac OS, you can even connect with ftp from the Finder however. Ftp mac sierra.

So what's happening here? Is OS X trying to use Airport for new connections even though I have it shut off? That might explain why existing connections are still fine. Here's another clue: If I turn Airport on and then shut it off, the hanging after sleep goes away for a while.That probably explains the supposedly random nature of this - I had probably turned on Airport for some reason. Maybe OS X just gets confused and thinks Airport is on unless it has been turned off recently?

I don't know. The obvious fix is to just leave Airport on. I suppose that's what I'll do.

Os X Wake For Network Access Mean

From the mac os x help pages:
If you’re sharing your computer’s resources, such as a shared printer or iTunes playlist, you can set your computer to wake from sleep when other users access those resources.
To use this feature, you need an Apple wireless device that supports 802.11n, with the latest firmware installed.
To share your computer’s resources when it’s in sleep:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Energy Saver.
Open Energy Saver preferences
Select “Wake for network access.”
When this option is selected, your computer wakes at the following times:
When a user at another computer accesses your computer’s shared resources.
At regular intervals so that your computer can notify other computers on the network that its resources are available.
*If you have a portable computer, selecting this option will wake your computer only if it’s plugged in and the display is open.*
