Cannot browse Windows networks in Leopard

In Tiger, I could click the Network icon and get the Windows domains listed for me. Of course, there was an issue in that it would only show the first 1500+ domains, ending somewhere in the Ms when I needed the Ts but at least I could browse the many and varied domains we have here.
Now, I find no option or way to browse the Windows domains. I can choose Connect to server from Finder but if I choose Browse, it only takes me to the standard Finder window with no network means to really browse.
Overall, I like Leopard but there are some definite steps backward. Any ideas on how I can browse the Windows domains or is this another feedback item for Apple?
Thanks,

Browse windows networks with Thunar

Hi,
I am running xfce on arch linux, everything up to date I believe. I would like to be able to browse windows networks with the file manager (Thunar). I do not need to share files or even access password protected content. I am simply looking to be able to browse public folders. (Without having to mount anything manually)
I found some instructions for installing samba and fusesmb, but then found a note saying fusesmb doesn't work anymore. A search on that showed that most people seem to be using gigolo now, but there is no wiki page for it, and being a noob I am hesitant to try to mess with it on my own.
If someone could give me very precise instructions on how to do this (samba/gigolo or otherwise, I don't care about the method as long as it's not terribly difficult) I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Ok, I installed samba and smbnetfs and everything looks good, the workgroup shows up in the file manager now. However...
None of the windows computers show up.
I installed exactly as the wiki said, using gamin and smbnetfs but not SWAT. I changed the workgroup to the correct name. Some other setting I might have missed that it needs?

Help, please, with problem browsing Windows network since upgrade

I recently upgraded my MacBook from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Now I can't browse my home Windows network 90% of the time. None of the machines appear. Worked fine before. Anyone know how to fix what Apple broke?

Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.  If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
Then see this.

Cannot login to network account (leopard client and server)

Up until now, I have used local accounts on my leopard server. I want to start experimenting with OD prior to implementing. I created a new user account in the /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 domain, and have bound my leopard client to the server using directory utility. On the login screen, "Network Accounts Available" has a green button to the left of it. When I try and login to the server account, the login window just shakes. At first, I could enter the password and then it would prompt me for a new password. Trying to enter a new password would not allow me to login. I went back to server admin and disabled the "require new password" setting, (as well as the other good security policies)...
I have also reset the password in WGM, and made sure to disable all the security stuff there too...
Lastly, I have deleted the server in directory utility, rebooted, then added it back in, and rebooted again...
I still cannot login to the server account, the login screen just shakes
Does anyone have an idea of what settings and or logs I can check to try and narrow down what is going on?
Thanks in advance....

to close out the thread, I have working dns on my network, but I did not have dns enabled on my server. I enabled the dns service and entered just the info for my server, then assigned my server and client to use the server's ip addy as the primary dns server. Next, I created the home directory.
Once both steps were done, I was able to log in from my client to my server based account...
FYI-I found a document on afp548.com called "leopard server: advanced setup, rsync backup and automated reporting" that walks you right thru the process...Here is the link, it's a very useful doc....

thanks again boomboom_uk and woVi, your suggestions were spot on....

WRT110N Cannot Browse Network PCs after restart

I was able to browse Network PCs from XP [somehow cannot do so when in Vista - to browse XP PCs]. Now after restart I cannot browse any network pcs. I had hard reset the WRT`110 and disable all firewalls from all pcs and no antivirus running. What am I missing? It says unable to browse PC due to service not being started etc... and restarted it ..... still no go. This is from XP to Vista. I pressed the little reset button on the back of this. Strangely when transferring files between pcs 2 hrs ago was quite slow... any way to speed this up?

HP LaserJet P4015TN - Windows 7 cannot find on network

Several months ago we started to get random print jobs with garbled characters that would come out from time to time. Over time, these events became more frequent and the number of pages printed out increased as well. Sometimes a whole try of paper would be printed out with these garbage characters on each page.
Unplugging the network cable would stop this but it would start up again immediately after plugging the cable back in. Initially I thought this was a network issue so I swapped cables. No luck. Swapped ports. No luck. Reset all of our switches and our router. No luck. Removed the print driver from our machines and reinstalled. No luck.
I left it unplugged for several days and the random printing finally stopped. Problem solved! Well, not exactly. The random printing issue is now gone but now I cannot install this printer on any Windows 7 machine. In fact I cannot find the printer either by entering the IP directly in the setup or by browsing the network.
The odd part is I can ping the printer and I can login to the admin page via the printers IP without an issue. The other oddity is that this is only occuring on Windows 7 machines. XP machines can print to the printer with no issues.
I have tried this on various machines with the Windows Firewall on and off and antivirus software on and off. Nothing seems to make a difference.
However, I did have success using the HP Print and Scan Doctor software. It did finally see the printer and let me install the HP Universal Print Driver. I can now print to the printer using this driver. This is not the prefered way of doing this as we have many public users of this printer that would not be technically savvy enough to setup printing this way.
My question is, why did this printer stop connecting to Windows 7 PCs? Nothing has changed on our network. Is there a know issue with a Windows Update that is causing an issue? I am symied with this.
Any ideas?
I finally came to the conclusion that this had to be a bad network board.

You can disregard that last line that states this was a bad network card. An HP service center determined that the card is fine and found nothing wrong with the printer.

Network Browser Window Refresh

Does anyone know how to force the Network Browser window to refresh quicker? I'm not talking about just refreshing the information a computer thinks it knows about who is out there in my local network, but to actively look and see who is out there.
Seems to me this was instantaneous back in Classic's Network browser and Chooser>AppleShare window.
Case in point; Three Macs (two are OSX 10.3.9, one is Classic 9.2.2) are up and running. Three icons appear in NB (10.3.9), the other two computers and the server alias. Start up the third one, and it takes so long for the new machine to show up even after it's been on for a while.
I know that the new machine is broadcasting because it shows up on the Classic Mac.
Any one else notice this?

The whole Networking/Internet sharing issue is a vexed issue for me. For what it's worth here is my current Stickie note about my own problems:
"Notes on Networking and Internet sharing:
When you turn on Internet sharing via the "Network" Preference pane on the "gateway" Mac, you should also visit the "Sharing" Preference pane and enable "Personal Web Sharing". If you fail to do this, the "downstream" computers will not be able to browse the Internet. (No need to turn on "Personal Web Sharing" for the "downstream" computers). This proviso is stated in Mac Help.
Sometimes the Sidebar Network browser cannot find other computers on the local network, or LAN. (On the other hand, the Go…Connect to Server method seems always to work). The following technique is one reliable way of fixing the Sidebar browser problem, and assumes that you have an Ethernet LAN plus dial-up modem:
On the "gateway" computer's Network PrefPane, choose Show…Built in Ethernet, then click its TCP/IP tab and configure iPv4… manually. Type in an IP address of 10.0.1.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, all other fields blank.
Then repeat this for all the "downstream" computers, except that you configure iPv4…using DHCP. The network will automatically fill in the other fields (IP address, subnet mask, router) after a few seconds.
The Sidebar browsers on the "downstream" computers will now find the IP address of the "gateway" computer'" (but not its Rendezvous name} and the Sidebar browser on the "gateway" computer will now find the Rendezvous names of the "downstream" computers (but not their IP addresses)
Apple's <<docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106919>> suggests that both "gateway" and "downstream" machines be configured manually, but that does not work in my experience. David Pogue's Bible on Panther recommends that all computers be configured using DHCP, again this does not work consistently."

Windows server 2008 R2 browsing the network

We just migrated to Server 2008 R2 and now we are having network browsing issues
When searching computers can only see local cannot search on different subnets?
Our CEO I sold school and like to browse the network to connect to a server and when he is not at the headquarters he no longer can browse computers at the headquarter location?
Is this a Bug or a service?
If you try and search for a computer name it also does not work can only search for local computers
if you type the computer name directly in my computer it works and you can connect
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi,
This issue occurs because the IPAddress registry entries at the following location are incorrectly overwritten by a newly added IP address instead of the whole list of IP addresses:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<GUID>
Note <GUID> is a placeholder for the GUID of the network adapter that is encountering the issue.
More information and a hotfix, please check the below KB:
Some IP addresses on a network adapter are lost after you restart a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista if the buffer being used on the network adapter becomes insufficient

When I have multiple browser windows open - but in the "minimized" mode - and I want to open up one of them for viewing, ALL of the windows automatically open as well. How do I prevent this annoying function. I cannot find it anywhere in the options.

This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t

I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

Error message after update "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be

My daughter just did an update and got the following error message: "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.
Any thoughts or tips as to what happened?

Just a few pieces of clarifying information... This is Safari on OS X you're talking about, right? Also, what update did your daughter install? Have you tried reinstalling Safari (you can download it from Apple's site)?

Upgraded to Leopard, now fonts on clip ids in browser window unreadable

Running FCE 2.0.2. Program works fine, I just can't read the titles of my clips in the bin in the browser window anymore. They're there, just kind of tiny and bold and mush. Is there a way to reset the display font in the bin/browser window? Ideas????
Thanks, James

Wait for 10.5.1, I guess, but you really can't expect FCE2 to run well on Leopard.
