Can't connect to windows server

Hi,
I recently purchased a 20" 2.4 alu iMac for office use. It's running 10.5.2
When I booted it up, I attempted to connect to the office server (which I believe is running Windows NT).
On another mac in the office, running 10.4.11, the server is easily discoverable in WORKGROUP -> <server>. It is not password protected, and can be connected to with a double click.
Although it is visible in the SHARED area of Leopards sidebar, a single click indicates the computer has failed to connect. "Connect as..." prompts for a username and password (which don't exist), and indicates that the server does not allow guest logins.
I've tried connecting via command-K -> cifs://<IP address> and it gives me the same prompt as clicking "Connect as..." from the finder.
Any ideas as to a solution to this problem? Thanks.

I was initially mistaken. The server isn't running NT, but rather Linux. It's a SAMBA share.
Articles I have stumbled upon on the internet indicate that some people have changed the password encryption options in the smb.conf file, with success, but I'm not certain that it will solve my problem, as there is no password set to begin with!

I can't connect to Windows Server via FTP

I've been using FTP for about 13 years and it works fine on Apache servers but can't connect to a windows Server via my Fetch FTP program. The site owner sent me a screenshot and copied/pasted the password so I know I have the info correct. It is still giving me errors.
Is there a special method to connect to Windows server via FTP?

Hi Lorel,
Try FileZilla...

Suddenly can't connect to windows server

I suddenly can't connect to the windows server. The username and password is correct, but it says "Connection Failed: Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the name and password or contact the server's administrator." It pings the server as well. My internet and email works fine. The IT guys can't figure it out either, but they are not mac gurus. Connecting via smb comes back with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct" before I even enter login information, if that is helpful information. I also tried connecting through the server alias under the network and its the connetion failed as going through Connnect to Server and entering it as AFP://ipaddress.
Can it be from the 10.4.11 update? It was fine before the update I believe - but I can't recall for sure. I'm a lone mac user in a very pc company, so any mac expert advice would be helpful.
Is just strange since I have no problems connecting to our work email via GroupWise.

Connecting via smb comes back with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct" before I even enter login information, if that is helpful information.
Yes for any previous connection, Macs will send what's in Keychain Access, even if it's wrong, before you get asked... delete that reference in Keychain Access.

Upgraded to Yosemite - can't connect to windows Server using afp

I have upgraded to Yosemite from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and now cannot connect to a windows merit used to connect to before. I previously used the afp protocol.
I get the message "The version server you are trying to connect to is not supported".
Is afp still supported with yosemite?
Do i need them to upgrade the server software?
It connects using smb, but does not display the same folders.
Thanks in advance, am a bit lost here

I am providing mac support for a group of mac users who make up the art department in a larger multinational company. As is often usual in these situations the larger PC IT department are incredibly unhelpful.
But I have just come online and had no part in the set up. The servers are overseas and managed by them. I have no idea why the used afp as the protocol. I just know it has worked this way for years.
The macs need to upgrade to go on to creative cloud.
I think he way forward is for them to change the access on the server to allow access using smb.
It is just difficult to deal with them because they aren't here tend to say "we dont support macs" when I contact them.

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

Can't create ODBC connection in Windows Server 2012R2

I just finished installing the instant client & odbc connection on Windows Server 2008R2. I then attempted to perform the same installation on a new Windows Server 2012R2 instance and encountered the following issue.
After extracting the contents of the 64bit instant client & odbc files into c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1, adding this to the path statement, and adding a TNS_ADMIN environmental variable, I successfully ran odbc_install.exe from an admin cmd window. I then opened the 64bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, clicked add, selected the Oracle in instantclient_12_1, and clicked finish. As soon as I did so, I received the following error: "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126: The specified module could not be found. (c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1\SQORAS32.dll)"
I uninstalled the odbc client (odbc_uninstall.exe) and attempted again with the 32bit version & 32bit odbc configuration screen. I get the exact same result with 32bit as I do with 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I needed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package for the correct DLLs

Hi,
I am running Netweaver 7 and ERP2005.
J2EE support pack is 9. The sap note that you mentioned is for NW2004 and our system is running on NW2004s.
Now I am trying to reconfigure the sld. In case if you can suggest me another solution, I will be very happy to try that out...
Thanks for your reply

My computer is not loading a website. This is urgent for university work!! My computer keeps saying: "Can't connect to the server" no matter what internet browser i use, and other people with Mac's can use it fine! I need it for university work. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait few minutes.
Plug it back in. Power on the router.
Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Problem with Safari **Safari can't connect to the server**

My internet is working fine, but I keep having to refresh the page because I'm always getting "safari can't connect to the server". Same thing happens with different browsers. I've read a couple things online and unistalled everything that I think is causing the problem but it's still happening frequently. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most school networks are closed networks. You can access their Intranet, with all the files and peripherals and everything, but you need to have a specific password or IP address to access any outside connection. I have an ibook G4 that's 3 years old. I used it in high-school to access AOL wirelessly. That was before closed and protected networks were prefered. It shouldn't matter if the school intranet is widows based or not. You need to access your own internet service sometimes in order to get any reaction. If you simply use safari, you might only be connecting to the schools intranet, which only links together the schools computers and keeps the system isolated. Also, you need to check your firewall settings, in fact, just turn off the firewall. The schools sytem is firewalled up the bum and you shouldn't get attacks anyway because you're running the mac os.
You might also try an alternative approach. Go into a computer lab, access one of the systems, then go to control panels and look up every connection you can find. Take down all of the info and then see which matches up with similar info on your mac. Then go to another pc and look up the same info again. Is it different? How? Then take that listing to the system administrator and show them. They may not know that a mac has a simpler interface than the pc, so you may have to do some prodding to get them to take a look. If they still tell you it wont work, you could try boot-camp or a virtualizer (to let you run windows alongside the mac os). If you use a virtualizer, you can get your own copy of windows and then share it's connection to the main system to the mac.

Mac10.x client can't connect to File Server on Windows2008 Failover Cluster

Installation of a cluster was made according to the document "Failover Cluster Step-by-Step Guide: Configuring a Two-Node File Server Failover Cluster " http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844.aspx.
My Mac OS X 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 clients be able to connect to a non-cluster file server on a Windows 2008 (the File Services role) and also to old file cluster on a Windows 2003.
Why Mac clients can't connect to Windows 2008 Failover Cluster?

Are you running a firewall on the Macs. If yes does it work with out the firewall? If it works with out the firewall that means you will have to create a custom ipf rule which includes the both the physical an virtual IP addresses of your cluster.

Snow Leopard: can't connect to AFP server anymore

We are using the MacServerIP (9.0) AFP server on a windows 2003 server. After updating from 10.5 to 10.6 we can not connect to this server using AFP anymore (connection failed). Connecting via SMB works fine.
Thank you very much!!

I have the same problem logging in to an old Snap Server via AFP. "you entered an invalid username or password." is the error message. All was well in OS9 through 1.4 but this broke on 10.6 upgrade fro 10.4.
Apple support has not solved the problem. One thing I noticed is in the login dialog box there is no longer a list of options like there was in all versions up through 10.4, like sending password in clear text.
It is clear, that the two computers see each other given that the request for name and password come up for the target server.

Can iTunes connect to DLNA server?

Hello.
I am not asking you how to do it, I just want to know if it is possible. I tried Google first, and there was an answer saying "no", but that thread was dated 2007. Maybe there could be any improvements, since 5 years have passed.
There is a Windows Homer Server that holds music. I think it is using DLNA technology. I did not install any special program on it, but all my other devices such as Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Atrix can play music using DLNA clients.
Now, I would also like to see the shared music on iTunes on my MacBook, but I cannot find any option. It would be a little bit odd if iTunes is the only thing that does not talk in the same language while all Windows/Samsung/Motorola devices do.
Thank you for reading.
