Browsing Windows File Shares not working

I'm trying to integrate Macs into our Windows and Linux Network. After finally getting a stable Active Directory binding (Article TS3248 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3248?viewlocale=en_US) the remaining challenge is for our users to browse for Windows (Samba) servers. That is, visible in "Networking" or the Side Panel under "SHARED".
At the moment the users are able to connect to all file shares by using "Connect to Server ..." and typing "smb://host/share" so we know that Kerberos is working well (AD Integration). The variation "smb://someuser@host/share" and providing a password also works. When the file share is mounted it is displayed under "Shared"
Searching on the net led me to check /private/var/log/samba/log.nmbd file. Every five minutes the following error message is logged:
\[2011/03/16 13:04:04, 0, pid=113\] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.5/samba/source/libsmb/nmblib.c:send_udp(793)
Packet send failed to <WINS server IP>(138) ERRNO=No route to host
This doesn't make sense since this host is pingable and is on the same subnet (i.e. no route). An additional observation is that Windows XP machines that are NOT bound to the domain are browsable. The problem applies both to Windows Server 2008 as well as CentOS 5.5 servers running Samba.
Google search has turned up nothing. Based upon my experience with other Samba implementations, this may be a bug in OS X. Anyone out there having the same problem or a resolution?

I have a similar problem, and have seen something somewhere about a difference in AD in windows 2003 server and Windows 2008 server based networks. It also seem to be related to the lack of wins in modern Windows 2008 R2 functional level domains. I haven't been able to rule this out yet, but the problem for me is similar. MAC client running 10.6.x cannot see Windows computers under shared unless it's already mounted. I haven't been able to test this with OS X 10.7 yet.

'Browse For File' icon not working in Dreamweaver CS4

Hello All.
Ever since upgrading my copy of Dreamweaver from version 8 to CS4, I seem to have accounted an annoying bug (?)
If, for example, I want to change an image on a webpage, I would click the image in question on the screen and by using the Properties panel would select a new image by clicking the 'Browse For File' icon in the 'Source File Of Image' section of the panel.
Then I would select the new image, hit 'OK' and the image would be changed.
Now when I do this nothing happens - the original image remains and cannot be altered.
I now have to manually type the link of the new image into the 'Source File Of Image' field, which is a pain.
I have even disabled my firewall and anti-virus just in case these were somehow conflicting but still no change.
Any ideas anyone please?
Thanks,
Jon
Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means that there is a corrupt personal configuration folder.
Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.
For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.
Hope this solves your issue.

Windows File Share not using Correct NIC Interface.

Hi
I have Windows 2012 R2 server with two 1gb NICs. I want to use NIC1 for the regular network traffic/Internet and the NIC2 for database traffic. NIC1 has IP Addresses of 64.141.xxx.xxx (I am not showing the last 6 digits for security reasons)
and 192.168.10.21. NIC2 has the IP Address of 192.168.11.2.
The Workstation accessing this server also has two NICS. NIC1 has the IP address of 64.141.xxx.xxx and 192.168.10.22. NIC2 has the IP Address of 192.168.11.4.
I created a share on the server myDataShare$. On the Workstation I access the share using \\192.168.11.2\myDataShare$ and everything works accept that the data from the share is sent across NIC1 but I want it to go over NIC2. If I add static
routes to both machines it makes no difference all network traffic always goes out on NIC1 for both machines.
If look at the status of each NIC on the send and receive bytes only NIC1 show any traffic. NIC2 is silent. How do I get traffic for the 192.168.11.0/24 subnet to use NIC2?
The strange thing is that if I ping a 192.168.11.0/24 address it goes over NIC2 but file sharing seems to ignore NIC2 altogether.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,
Windows Vista and later are based on the strong host model. In the strong host model, the host can only send packets on an interface if the interface is assigned the source
IP address of the packet being sent. Also the concept of a primary IP address does not exist.
If the program specifies a source IP address, that IP address is used as the source IP address for connections sourced from that socket and the adapter associated with that
source IP is used as the source interface. The route table is searched but only for routes that can be reached from that source interface.
You can try to set the “skipassource” flag ,by using this flag, the added new addresses are not used for outgoing packets unless explicitly set for use by outgoing packets.
The detail information about skipassource flag:

Mac - Windows File Sharing not working

Hi there,
I want to use Lion's SMB File Sharing from my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) and my PC running Windows XP. Currently, my list of Windows users on my Mac is empty, and everytime I try to log in from my PC, I get a prompt asking me to log in, but no matter which passwords I enter, they don't work.
Can anyon help me? Thanks!
PS A bit off topic, but my Screen Sharing option is missing too...

OK, good. (although, dd-wrt doess appear to be non-standard openSource firmware, making these routers harder to troubleshoot for us mere mortals).
But, yes about network name. if you can see the Mac in NetworkPlaces, this is good.
Thank you for clarifying bit-by-bit that the work network and the home network are your own setups, and the they're that identical.
As much information as you can provide is helpful.
I think you're going to find concrete clues to your problems...in the samba logs. it's not really a "test", it's merely looking into the logs during the time ( or finding the times where the connection fails)...and you will find the reasons that the connection fails.
Good luck

Windows File Share configuration from AIX Portal

Hi,
we want to connect a Windows file share as KM Repository to a portal running on AIX.
The network path is configured using jCIFS and user (DOMAIN.NET\USERNAME) is entered with password. The corresponding path is also entered in the FS Repository manager using ACLSecurity manager. A Windows System is not configured .
In the repository managers monitoring view our new repository manager shows a green button. In the KM however, it is not visible. The portal log shows the following error:
"Cannot retrieve credentials from URL for file 'DOMAIN.NET; USERNAME/' "
We tried to connect the file share with the same user/password. This worked fine.
Is there something else to configure ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Marcus

Hi,
the problem was the passwort. Using "?, %" or other special characters interpreted in a URL may not be used.
After changing password to a alphanumeric everything works just fine.

Windows file share, finder issues

Hello-
At my work we have a Windows 2008 R2 file share that our mac computers connect to. all of the mac computers have snow leopard running on them. A few times a week finder either stops responding and crashes, or cannot connect to the file share. Once the machine is restarted, it works fine for a little while. This seems to be a never ending cycle. Is there anything I can do to make the performance better on a Mac connecting to a windows file share?
Thanks

File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
Thanks

I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

Open the browser's Developer Tools and go to the Network tab. Do you see any 4xx or 5xx errors (usually the call will be colored red).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Issue with G4 connecting to a Windows File Share

We have a single MAC G4 that our marketing department uses for graphic development. when we first setup the PC we were able to connect to our Windows shares on the network. For better than a year now we have had intermittent problems with connecting to our Windows file share. It would drop the TCP connection to the file share, you would need to go back a re-authenicate to the share. Two weeks ago the problem worsened, we can't connect the to Windows files share at all now. I have tried different users accounts including my own which has domain admin authority. However I have a samba file share and a snap server running on the network and I am able to connect to these machines with no issues. I suspect a configuration problem, but not sure where to look next.
The MAC is running the following OS version and Kernel
OS 10.3.9 (7W98)
Kernel Darwin 7.9.0
Any guidance would be appreciated

I just figured it out myself.
