We have about a dozen Macs and 50 Windows PCs on a Windows network with a domain controller - and share a 2 Mb/sec radio-transmitted internet connection. There is a NetEqualizer to help handle the chaos that might otherwise ensue with this setup.Īny help would be most appreciated. I have also turned off the Server's Firewall and virus protection to see if that helped - but still no caching by the Server nor a connected MacBook Pro (the latter also having the Firewall and virus protection off). However, I can always reach those failed links so it is not a matter of the internet connection being offline.

Jun 20 11:41:56 dlserver AssetCache: Caching Server version 149.4 started I frequently get these messages in the Caching Log: ICloud Data: unchecked to cache personal iCloud data Serve clients with public addresses: matching this server's network. The Caching service Status says "Available - Devices on your local network will automatically use this service. Network Interface: Ethernet, Ip Address 192.168.0.167 (DHCP assigned - not static, but it never changes)Īccounts: All Users, All Groups (populated by the Windows Domain Controller - Active Directory for the Windows Domain.) Internet: Reachable at 202.62.123.237, no services available The server is on an iMac and only the Caching Server is turned on. It is a Windows network utilizing Active Directory. Nor does downloading from a client machine ever cache to the caching server - even though the client and server share the same (and only) public ip address, and the same (and only) subnet. Nothing I ever download/install from the Mac App Store via the Caching Server itself gets cached.

Could this non-caching be an issue in terms of bandwidth and/or regional settings? I did create an Apple ID based in Fiji and also set the Region for Oceania=>Fiji - but this made no difference. The downloads/installs, albeit very slow, always work fine here. However, I am finding it does not cache its own installs from the App Store nor from any other Mac on the network.Īlso, I am in Fiji and have very limited bandwidth - and thus a need for the Caching Server. I may have mistakenly presumed that the OS X Server (5.1.5 in my case) should always be caching its own unique downloads/installs from the Mac App Store - and also its downloads from iTunes, iBooks, etc.
