Connect to SMB Stopped on 10.8.5, but not 10.6.8

This is freaky. I hope someone can help.
We have a mix of about four 10.8.5 machines and many 10.6.8 and older machines. They all have been connecting to a Windows 2000 server without problem for a long time.
This morning, all of a sudden the 10.8.5 machines will not connect. After entering the credentials, the box just shakes as if a wrong password was entered. Try the same credentials on a 10.6.8 machine and we get right in.
It's not a cabling or hardware issue because I was able to boot 10.6.8 machines that were working into 10.8.5 and they wouldn't connect.
A couple years ago Apple made a behind the scenes unannounced change to javascript that broke a lot of things we used at the time.
Anybody know if they have been monkeying with the SMB spec to make it incompatible with the old Win 2000 server we need to connect to?
Anybody know a fix for this?
Thanks,
Scott

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

"No connectivity with the server" error for one document but not the other, in the same document library

We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server. The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option. If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem. One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
the same document library! The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure. She can read the older document, but not the new one.
It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error. We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
created profile does not experience the error for these people. Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears. When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear. We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy. We are rebooting between
logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
2005 SP4. SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries. We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries. We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files. It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes. One person experiencing
the errors is a Site Collection Admin. That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file. They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
file gave them an error. In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
We've tried lots of things including:
Deleting IE cache
Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
Running IE without add-ons
Upgrading and Downgrading IE
Uninstalling and re-installing IE
Reinstalling our SSL certs
Repairing Office
Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool
Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
Toggling the location of checked out files
Adding the site in the trusted sites list
Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
Making sure the WebClient service is started
Rebooting the machine (lol :)
This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing. There aren't
"check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next. Thanks!
-Richard.
PS I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?

It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes. It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error. I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done. I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster. Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
to get back to work. Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore. The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error. I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error. Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem.
I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
So the process went as follows:
Reboot and log into the machine as another user
Delete the profile and associated registry key
Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring. That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
before which didn't fix the issue.
So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
One way to do this was to:
Reboot and log in as another user
Rename the c:\users profile folder
Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
We've tried this on a couple machines and it works. I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it.

Roland UM-ONE CD-ROM does not mount on iMac OS 10.8.2 Roland driver for 10.8 installed as directed. No power ready light shows when connecting UM-ONE. System Profiler shows it, but not configured. Older UM-1X works fine. UM-ONE works on Dell Windows XP.

UM-ONE
Roland supplied CD-ROM does not mount or read by iMac OS 10.8.2, works with old TiBook and Dell laptop, however.
Got latest driver from RolandUS.com (um_1mx8d_v100), installed as directed.
No power ready light shows when connecting UM-ONE.
System Profile shows it there, but not configured.
With Audio MIDI Setup opened to MIDI Studio window, UM-ONE does not appear.
Tried many things without success. Tried swapping UM-1X (formerly on Dell laptop) with UM-ONE. UM-ONE installed and worked there without any issues. MIDI instrument communicates fine.
The UM-1X works without complaint and as expected when connected to any USB port on either the Dell or iMac, even a hub or keyboard port, just as it formerly had before changing operating systems, etc. It is old, but reliable.
Upshot is, for now, that UM-1X works with either the Dell or the iMac, but is currently attached to the iMac. UM-ONE (2011 model) only works with the Dell (Windows XP).

Same problem here! The only difference is that I'm using a MacBook pro 13 inch (2011)

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

Why is my Internet connection hanging on both MacBook and Mac mini, but not PCs, Xbox, or iOS devices?

I have a MacBook pro and Mac mini both running the latest version of lion. I've had this issue with my MacBook for sometime now, but just dealt with it and figured it was isolated, but now I am finding its not.
Essentially, I will open up safari, or Chrome, and the first few pages will load fine. Sometimes I will get lucky and be able to browse normally, but after awhile, safari just hangs there and stops loading. I can close the window, and open a few more pages before it does it again. Both my mini and MacBook do this, but only on my home network. My MacBook runs perfectly fine on my work wi if, and other wi fis, so I definitely know its my home modem. If I wait it out I can surf the Internet again, but this dead time is absolutely killing me. It just randomly stalls, on both computers.
I current have time Warner cable roadrunner, with a cable modem gateway. The issue was happening on a straight connection. I had hoped getting a time capsule and connecting to that network would solve things, but it didn't. Interestingly enough, my Pcs, Xbox,and all 4 of my iPads and iPhones work just fine on the wifi, so there has to be a communication issues with the MacBook and mini with the cable router.
I've tried messing with lions network DNS servers and tried opendns ones, but those didn't work. Sometimes I can fix the problem for a few hours by power cycling the modem and router, but I shouldn't have to do that over and over every time it's an issue. I've also tried removing and adding the wi if connections, but that.works for a minute or two and then the problem resumes.
Now, I have my time capsule connected to the gateway, and tuned the time Warner modem wireless off, which didn't help of course, but at least I'm properly backed up.
I'm not sure what the issue is. I've even tried typing an ip address of apple during a dead time to see if that worked and didn't.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm pretty much at my wits end in this, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Hi Amit,
According to your description, I understand that some mobile phone cannot get the push from Exchange server after add an Cisco Network switch in your environment, besides test ActiveSync failed with very long delay.
I want to double confirm some points, please help to collect the answer for following questions:
1. What’s the function for Kemp load balance, hardware or network traffic optimization?
2. Are you using Cisco network switch as network load balance functionality?
3. How about the Outlook sync from the external?
Depend on the error message and your test, it’s related to Network issue instead of Exchange.
Please try to use Microsoft Network Monitor to get more detail progress of the connection of sync, for more resource:

Can connect to wireless network run off dell router, but not internet!

I have a iBookG4 and have moved to a new apt with a wireless network run off a dell router/ comcast. My roommates have both Macs and PCs and can connect with no problems. I found the network on my airport and put in the password, joined network no problem, but cannot connect to the internet. The Airport status is yellow and says that Airport has self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I can connect fine to other open networks in the area so its not my computer. I tried to copy the IP address from my roommate manually to the network settings but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? No one here seems to recall how they set up the network and I am paying for a network I can't access. Please help!!!

Does the dell router have an access list set-up?
With an access list (depending on the router) it can be set-up to allow access for only certain MAC addresses. If your MAC address isn't in the list, you'll not get on.
Usually the router will have an IP address itself of 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 - depends on the router. You should be able to determine it from the IP address your computers are getting. Try getting someone to connect to this through a browser, and check/change the configuration of the router directly.

Smb error -36 on one server but not another (vpn)

Here goes:
I'm connecting using the built-in Apple VPN client to work.
Once connected, I try to mount two Windows servers using the finder:
* The first one asks my username/password and mounts no problem.
* The 2nd doesn't seem to ask for username/password, and just gives me the dreaded "error -36"
The console says:
Unknown host
mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Network is down
mount_smbfs: can't get server address 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
But the network is up (I know, since I am moving files from the other server).
When connecting from inside the office (not via VPN) all is well.
What gives?

ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed for one user but not another

In Win7, we're linking tables in an MS Access 2010 db to tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The driver user by the File dsn is SQL Server version 6.01.7601.17514 & we're using SQL Server Authentication.
For some reason, one user gets the msg "ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed" before they're even asked for a password, but for other users, the prompt comes up and when they uncheck the Windows Auth box, they enter their password
and connect successfully to the SQL Server db. Both users have db_datareader access to the SQL Server db.
I had the user that gets the error msg log onto my PC and they get the same error (yet it works for me.)
This user was, however, able to successfully relink the tables, but then when we closed the access db and opened it again, the user got the "ODBC--connection..." error agin.
I'm stumped as to why this is happening for one user.

Hello Knellen,
Please help to collect more log information regarding this issue, such as windows event log, SQL Sever log information. They are helpful for us to troubleshoot it.

I am using the "Menu Selection With Events.vi" example alongside other while loops, When I select exit from the new menu it stops the other while loops but not the menu/event while loop

The event driven menu example works fine and I've integrated it into my application. I have built in simple local vars to link menu selections to existing GUI buttons. The problem is that I cannot get the File-Exit menu option to switch off/terminate the application. The [1] "Stop": Value Change panel of the event structure simply switches off the other while loops but leaves the event while loop running. Add a while loop to the axample using a local var from the event while loop to terminate 2nd while loop to get the effect.
Help appreciated, Chris

Attached you will find a modified version of your VI.
I documented what I did on the block diagram.You were right on you just needed to add a variable with a true wired to it.
Have fun with it.

Need to stop photostream on one device but not the other. Which one?

Here is my problem. I have photostream activated on my iPhone, iPad, and my Mac (iPhoto). I take 95% of my photos on my iPhone, but I often like to look at them on the larger screen on my iPad. So I like it that the iPhone photos sync to my iPad through photostream. However, all of the photos I've taken on my iPhone are there twice; once in the main folder and once in photostream. I now barely have any free space on my iPhone and I think it is affecting the device's performance (more apps don't open or crash now than ever before, it's processing commands slower). In iTunes it shows barely any free space remaining on the device. What I'd like to do is to in essence stop duplicating all the photos on my iPhone but keep the iPhone photos flowing to my iPad through photostream. Can I do this? Is it as easy as going to Settings and turning off photostream on one of the two devices? If so, which one? (If this works, I realize I may have to manually delete the 1000 photos that are currently on my iPhone. I also would not get any of my iPad photos on my iPhone, but that's okay for now.) Or, is there "do keep duplicate photo" switch somewhere? I appreciate the advice. Just don't want to flip the wrong switch.
For storage purposes, I'm not totally committed to iCloud yet. I store all my photos in iPhoto on my Mac where I can back them up on disk and hard drive, so I still regularly sync both devices to my Mac through iTunes.

Photos in albums that you create from the camera roll don't contain duplicates, but only links to the original photos. However, photos in the my photo stream album are duplicates (although they are "device optimized" copies of the original). If you want to continue to use photo stream without this happening, you can either import the originals from the camera roll and delete them from your phone, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or, save the photo stream photos on your iPad to the camera roll (by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then delete them from the photo stream album on either device. (Deleting photo stream photos on either device will delete them from the other.)
If you choose to delete the photo stream photos, you can tap Edit, tap the photos, then tap Delete.
Also, keep in mind that photo stream will only keep a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos on your devices, so as you add additional photos, older ones will be removed.
