Can't connect to smb webdevice on leopard ... tiger is working

Hi,
I have a problem with my MacBook running Leopard (Update from Tiger). I try to connect to a network storage. I type the uri: smb://192.168.2.1/Musik
Leopard asks me for a username and password... after this dialouge '192.168.2.1' appears in the finder at the 'shared'-sidebar. If I click on it, it shows me the 'Musik' share. If I click on that one it throws an error (-42) and that's it. The entrys stay where they are but I can't access them.
On my iMac (running Tiger) it works without any problems. Whats happening here?
Is this a samba problem? Are there any solutions? Does anybody have similar problems?
Maybe this is problem can be fixed by doing a clean Leopard install instead of running an update? And if so: If I do a clean install by restoring my drives by my latest timemachine backups, doesn't this throw back all the tiger stuff as well?
Thanks for help,
Michael

-36 is a bit generic, but usually means the Windows® machine is denying because of bad Password. Have you tried deleting that particular reference/share in Keychain Access and redoing it?

Lion can not connect to smb if use root login

I found if use root account login lion, that can't connect to smb but use other account ok.who can help me take a look?

This might help. I have a Seagate Dockstar (Pogoplug w/samba) with attached drives connected to my network that was easily discoverable with Bonjour in Snow.
From my experience -
I got the SMB share working (sort of) in Lion 10.7
While the network hub and connected drive(s) won't automatically appear as a Connected Server, or Bonjour Computer I was able to find the Dockstar by going to -
Go/Connect to Server and then enter it's specific info - smb://fabx2d09fe (my device's actual number was different than this).
The dialog pops up for name and password - or connect as Guest. I couldn't remember if I had set these so tried Guest and was able to access/mount the drive on the desktop and sucessfully read/write to/from it.
I may have to always connect to recent servers to get the thing to mount so it's not as automatic as Bonjour in the sidebar - but it does work!
This mostly solved the issue for my needs....maybe it would work for yours?

Win XP can't connect via SMB to Leopard

Unanswered question from several weeks ago. Time to cast the line in again...
I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.5, and now the PC is unable to connect to the Mac via SMB for file sharing. I can see it in the Network Neighborhood, or specify the share (\\leopard1\useracct) explicitly. It doesn't go as far as authentication; just hangs until timeout. I still have a Panther machine too, and PC connecting to Panther works just like before. I can connect
++ Panther to Leopard, Leopard to Panther,
++ PC to Panther, Panther to PC, and even
++ Leopard to PC,
but not PC to Leopard.
I've tried adjusting the workgroup, but it doesn't stick when I do. (See below for update.)
I can walk over to the Mac and connect to the Win XP machine to transfer files. I cannot sit at the Win XP machine and connect to Leopard to transfer files.
I've read the manuals over and over. I enabled SMB under System Preferences -> Sharing -> Options, and I've tried two different accounts, one of which is admin. I'm very tenacious and I know my way around both computers, but I've really tried everything three times and I'm out of ideas. It's definitely not working the way the manuals say; in fact, if my Leopard machine would just read the manuals, it'd be working by now.
previous thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1736333
I found out why I had been unable to change the workgroup and have it stick:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307249
Now that all 3 computers are in the same workgroup, I can see the Leopard mac from the PC's Network Neighborhood, but I still can't connect to it.
Thanks,
Charley

Hi again Michael.
I found this is a very common issue with Mac OS X 10.5 that a lot of people are reporting. Check out the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195690&tstart=0 . All kinds of people are reporting similar problems.

Can't connect to SMB share on Windows server from only ONE mac

I have over 20 macs on my network. All are running the same version of the OS. (10.4.9) Almost all of the macs can connect, using SMB, to our Windows 2000 file servers...but only ONE of them can not. When I try from that mac, I get the following error:
"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "smb://myservername" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
This same mac that has this issue can connect to any of our other Win2K file servers and all my other macs can connect to the server that this mac can't...which is very confusing for me because that tells me that the mac is fine and the Win2K server is fine as well...
Any ideas?

-36 is a bit generic, but usually means the Windows® machine is denying because of bad Password. Have you tried deleting that particular reference/share in Keychain Access and redoing it?

MBPro Can't Connect through SMB, Can VNC to iMac then SMB though

Hey guys,
I have an MBP with 10.5.6 and an iMac with 10.5.6
I have SMB connections to a file server that I can connect to. On the iMac (hard wired into the network/domain), all connections are fine and I can connect to the server whenever.
On the MBP, though, i can only connect to the server during what seems liek specific times of the day. For example in the morning, I can connect and transfer files without a problem, but in the evening, it won't let me connect. The servers do not have any time of day preference and do not regulate users based on time of day either. Also, my VPN is working fine and is a non issue.
What is strangest though, is that I can VNC to my iMac, then connect to those very same servers even though I couldn't directly from the MBP.
Any ideas?

I have also noticed that this is happening to a few other people in my department, so it seems like it may be an OS thing, but I am still not sure. Anybody?

Can't connect using SMB, but can with CIFS

I'm trying to connect to a windows share from my PB running tiger. I can connect fine in finder going 'Network/Workgroup/PC_Name/' but if I us the 'Go > connect to server' in finder I cannot.
I click go, connect to server and type "//192.168.0.3/My Documents/' it says cannot find sever. Same if is use the smb prefix.
When I get info on the share it says CIFS://WORKGROUP;MARK@PC_NAME/My Documents/
so I can't understand why I cant connect using SMB, I've checked directory access and SMB is enabled, workgroup is set. I know I've been able to connect via SMB before, not sure why I can't now?

For the longest time I have had an Alias of all my remote PC servers in the Dock. One click and I'm connected. As of 10.4.5 those Alias' no longer work. When I click on them instead of getting the volume mounted and ready, I get a the login window with the Workgroup and User Name asking for the password that should be in the Keychain. I enter the password and click connect and get nothing. No errors, no pings, just the Network icon in the Dock turns into a ?.
I go to the Network Browser and the servers show up in their proper workgroups. I click the server, get the login window, put in the password and get an error that the "Server" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found. With three buttons "Delete Alias", Fix Alias", and "OK". If it can't be found, then what is it showing me in the browser?
I have 10.4.4 on another partition for emergency backup use in the event 10.4.5 fails (and it is). I went to 10.4.4 and all works just fine. All this started in 10.4.5.

WinXP AD users can't connect via SMB

Server is an Intel Xserve, 10.5.8.
Windows users get authentication errors when attempting to connect via SMB on the Mac server. The server is bound to Active Directory, and the Mac users are able to connect via AFP just fine. Macs also cannot connect via SMB. I get the error message "NTSTATUS_WRONGPASSWORD" when the user attempts to log in.
Local users are able to connect via SMB, but I don't want to re-enter a dozen or so PC users on this server if I can avoid it.
In the /var/db/smb.conf file there is an entry for a password server that may not be correct, but if I change it to the password server I've been instructed to use, the file flips back to the original setting when I stop and start the SMB service. I think if I make changes to the /etc/smb.conf file outside the END section, where the comments say to make changes, they will carry over to /var/db/smb.conf, but I'm not sure of the syntax.
If you need me to post the testparm output I can do that.

You're going to have to look into potential underlying issues.
I don't know what's happened for you, but I have an identical type setup for a client done over a year ago and no such problems have occurred.
What does the UNEDITED (please !) result of (using the Terminal) the following show:
cat /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos
What happens when a user can't connect (error message, loginwindow shake) ? Are all client machines & the server using a common (eg internal) time-server ?
Be sure to see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300765
And certainly read through Bombich' excellent PDF (click on the icon of it) at
http://www.bombich.com/mactips/activedir.html - esp. the troubleshooting section
for when a user is unable to login.
Currently, I'm not able to check/verify the settings for any of the servers I've setup for clients in a "magic triangle" setting. I'm not certain about the "passwordserver" entry,
on the one hand the actual passwordserver is actually part of

Itunes can't connect to internet, istore, track names and not working properly

Help please I have spent hours trying to sort out what ever is wrong with my itunes.
I can't connect to store when trying to take digital copies of dvd, I can't get track names, When I connect ipad and iphone it doesn't go past backing up.
I have been in communication with Norton and they have tried loads of things. I have now uninstalled it until I get to the route of this problem.
Please help me!!

OK many are not aware of this, but Windows XP with SP2 comes with windows firewall automaticcly on. so first check to make sure you have windows firewall off. goto the control panel, select "Security centre" and make sure it is tuned off. If the security center says "On" and is lited up green, you have some firewall on.
You may want to check with your ISP and make sure there not blocking you from the music store too thru there own firewall or other means

Macs can't connect to SMB shares on Win 2008 Server

My office Macs are running MacOS 10.5.x
The Domain Controller was recently replaced - went from 2000 to 2008
The File Servers are running 2000 and 2003
The Macs were connecting fine when the DC was 2000 but after the change to 2008 when the Macs attempt to connect to either file server via SMB the connection times out. PCs are all fine.
The Macs are using the domain controller as the their time server. Binding to the domain seems to work fine.
Console logs show errors such as "Timed Out waiting on Response"
Help? What else can I check?

Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade

Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks and can no longer connect to our SMB file share on the network. Several of us have tried connecting to it on this machine and all we get is
There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx.domain.com".
You do not have permission to access this server.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have been searching high and low since yesterday afternoon for an answer to this. My problem is not connecting to an SMB share (well, it was, as the old Cmd+K to connect to the SMB share would close quickly) but instead of the old Mac way of using Cmd+K and the IP address, I simply clicked on the available NAS SMB share under Shared and it is a massively fast connection. The old SMB connection would take minutes to open the next folder. So, connecting as you would under Windows helped fix that problem, BUT...
1. The NAS SMB share times out regularly and you have to eject & reconnect. Annoying.
2. Worse than this is I can not open any documents on the share, only navigate it. I have to copy paste the documents to my local ssd, manipulate, copy back. Any new file I copy on, or edit and copy on, the NAS SMB share I can navigate to and open. But if I try to click a pre-Mavericks existing file, I get "Can not open 'excel/word/acrobat.app' with the -36" error. Total BS.
3. Even more weird, if I click spacebar on ANY file on the SMB Share it will pop up in preview. Double click to open and error message.
4. If I copy a document attached to an email (Outlook 2011) to the server it is corrupt. If I copy the file to local ssd, then to the NAS SMB, the same file works perfectly fine.
This is completely ridiculous and needs a fix immediately. I'm going to try using Reinfire's link right now and see if that helps.
My NAS is a Netgear ReadyNAS 516 (linux/unix OS) I use in my office. Computer is MBPr March 2013.

Can't connect to SMB server

Hi! I have trouble with connection to my smb server on debian. When I try to connect from "connect to server" menu, I get this error: URLs with the type "smb:" are not supported". Now I can connect only with bash command. But few days ago all worked from GUI.
In system.log I got this (I try connect from PathFinder & Finder):

Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
2) Open Terminal.app
3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

Windows 7 can't connect to SMB share

Hello, my windows gaming PC won't connect to my shares on my mini server, the server is clean installed just 2 days ago and it worked at first but now it won't even ask for username password it just gives a message that it can't reach the IP address.
I have tried hostname, FQDN and IP and nothing works. but my 2 MacBook Pros have no problem at all, and is maxing the bandwidth of the LAN when transferring files.
I can post a wireshark log if that helps??

Have you tried turning on and off the Filesharing services?
I know sometimes the SMBX portion of OS X Server might crash... so you would have to retart services..

Can only connect to smb share from Windows as "nobody"

I'm trying to share some folders on my Mac using samba. When I connect from Windows, I do not get asked for a username and password, and I get connected as a guest user (nobody). What do I do to get connected as a real user? I've tried playing with /etc/smb.conf, but I'm not sure what to change.

when you enable smb in haring system preferences on your mac, did you check the box to enable smb on a specific account?
if you did, when you initiate smb from windows try entering
smb://[email protected]
instead of
smb://mac.ip.address

Can not connect to SMB network drive

After upgrading to Lion, I am not able to connect to my Buffalo Terastation NAS box through SMB or AFP. After some research on various boards, it appears that the samba implementation changed in Lion and will require an update to your NAS box firmware to get it to work. Since this is not possible for the vast majority of customers (lack of vendor support, end customer technical ability, etc), I'm wondering if there is any official word from Apple to provide support for the previous samba implementation.

This might help. I have a Seagate Dockstar (Pogoplug w/samba) with attached drives connected to my network that was easily discoverable with Bonjour in Snow.
From my experience -
