Cannot connect to smb share - no error or time out, just keeps going

I searched the forum but could not find a solution.
We have a file server running on a Windows Server 2008. We have several MacBooks with snow leopard installed and the same config. Recently one stopped connecting to the shared drives. It does not provide any error. It just sits at the connecting dialog for as long as you leave it open with no progress. Does anyone know a solution to this? You can ping the file share box. It still works just fine on all other macs.

Try following the step I posted in:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2140745&tstart=0
And let me know if that helps.
If it doesn't try connecting via IP to your SMB share
Open Finder
Choose "Go" and connect to server
type sb://<ipaddress of the machine you are trying to get to/
And see if it comes up.

  • Cannot connect photosmart​7520 to the web services. times out. help please?

    Trying to connect to Web Services but times out. Configuration page suggests no internet connectivity although network modem/router is connected to the internet. Printer prints ok wirelessly through the network.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

  • Cannot connect to SMB share as a Registered User, but can connect as guest.

    I see all of our company servers in the Shared menu. They all automatically connect as Guest as expected with Leotard's fancy pants new networking stuff.
    When I try to connect to a server by clicking the Connect As... button, I am prompted for my Registered User info. I enter it correctly (worked fine in Tiger), and the dialog just disappears without any warnings, and I stay connected as Guest.
    I am also unable to authenticate to our Windows box that manages our printers, and I suspect it is the same issue.
    As a note, I have already followed to excruciating detail the guidelines for connecting to a Windows network as outlined in this wonderful post: Explanation of Leopard NetBIOS (Windows Sharing) Wackyness With Solutions!

    Hi
    Check your user name in active directory and at the prompt enter the full name
    your.name@activedirectorynetwork and password
    If your windows network is properly configured you will be able to access the share and printers with no problems.
    Leopard works fine in a properly set up windows AD network, is only a bit problematic with windows network without domain controllers

  • Cannot connect to SMB server if the name contains a dash (-)

    Hi,
    maybe someone has a workaround this: When the name of a server contains a dash "-" then one cannot connect to the share, even by using the IP address instead of the name.
    I would like to access the file system in the company I'm working for from home. The company uses MS-Win. The server names are like "xyz-asd". The easy way (for me) would be that my company changes the naming convention for the servers. But the IT guru rightly says that he is standard conform and don't see a reason to change for the personal needs of one user. By searching the Internet I could confirm that it is a bug in the Mac implementation, but could not find anything about to fix it or work around it.
    Anybody here has a clue?
    Cheers,
    Kurt.

    yes, it is the Servername with the dash in it. Maybe my recent post was not clear enough.
    Oops, I missed that part of your post but I see it now...
    Why are you sure it's the dash character in the name? Can you post the link that made you think that? There was a problem when Tiger first came out that was something like this, but it was related to password encryption.
    I did a search with your log error and found a thread here at the Apple Discussions that might help. MacNN's forums have another thread with possible help.
    Sorry I wasn't more help. But maybe something in one of those threads will help.

  • Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials

    Hello All,
    I am getting following error, when trying to expand essbase from calculation manager, "Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials",
    I am using EPM 11.1.2.1
    Thanks
    Yash

    If you have moved the server to a new data center and an issue has started occurring then it could point to the change.
    Are you able to log into essbase directly with Maxl using the same account?
    If you run a registry report do you see any of the configuration with IPs instead of DNS/hostname
    Cheers

  • Does Lion support connecting to SMB shares?

    Hi there,
    Has anyone else had issues connecting to SMB shares since upgrading to Lion?
    I am unable to connect to any previously accessible shares hosted on local Linux or Windows servers.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    For those of you trying to access SMB shares, I found a free and easy solution.
    Since a lot of people report they are able to access their NAS using apps other than the Finder itself, I decided to look for a free Lion-compatible File Manager to use instead of Finder.
    I have found muCommander ( http://www.mucommander.com/ ) and indeed it works fine. All I did was click on the button highlighted bellow, go to "bonjour services" and select my NAS. It prompted me for my username and password and voilá, it works fine.
    I keep Finder for everyday use and just load muCommander when I want to access the NAS. At least now I don't have to start my WinXP VM anymore just to access it.
    Hope it helps you all.

  • Cannot connect to iTunes store unknown error(0x80090318)

    cannot connect to iTunes store unknown error(0x80090318)

    This solved my problem; maybe it would fix yours too: Uninstall iTunes 11 and all the applications that were installed with it. Afterwards, install iTunes 10 instead.
    Make sure to delete the library folder created by iTunes 11 in C:\Users\[username]\My Music\iTunes before launching the older versions of iTunes. Otherwise you would receive an error indicating that the programme cannot start.

    I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
