MAC X 10.5.4 cannot connect to WIN XP pro

Seems like i'm not the only one with this problem.
I'm trying to connect from mac X 10.5.4 to WIN XP pro machine.
I've tried all the obvious:
- I have a guest account
- I have other accounts with passwords on all (this in the WIN machine).
- I am absolutely sure I've typed the usernames and passwords correctly.
- I even switched away from "simple share" on windows.
- I made sure the sharing is correct on WIN.
- I turned off any firewalls on the WIN machine
- I can get on line from both machines
- I can connect to another WIN machine from my WIN machine
I can ping the machine from my mac but cannot connect.
I get either error messages about no permissions, or cannot log in, or cannot mount the drive. I've tried every which way possible. Logging under my account in WIN or as a guest.
Before 10.5.2 (I think that's what caused the problem) I had no problem
whatsoever connecting. Now nothing works.
Help greatly appreciated thx

Windows security is broken up into two parts. Local permissions, and net permissions. You must set both in order to allow access. Simply setting up the share doesn't grant the user access to it.
You must define the share on the Share tab, and then go to the 'Security' tab and add whatever account the user will be using to access the folder and its associated files.
Make sure that the files in whatever folder your sharing pick up the inheritence of the parent folder permissions by checking the security on a few files in the folder and verify that the parent folder permissions match the file permissions. I've had instances where inheritence doesn't apply properly and the files in the folder don't have the permissions you set on the parent folder.

Leo cannot connect to WIN 2000 SP4 Server via AFP!

Dear folks,
I set up an PowerMac G4 MDD as a first Leopard-Test Machine for our production environment. Mac OS X 10.5 was installed on a clean HD without any old stuff on it.
My serious problem ist that this Mac cannot establish a connection to a WIN2000 Server (SP 4) via AFP.
I am able to enter cmd-K, server IP, and in the following dialogue login and password.
Instead of showing the available shares I get an error -41 (unknown error) an should contact the server admin.
Interestingly, I have absolutely no probs to connect via AFP to another Win2000 machine with SP 2 installed.
Also I tried several manipulations on the appleshare plist file I found here and in other forums. With no luck.
I have no idea anymore what else to try.
With Tiger and Panther everything is fine.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Stefan

I have not been able to reproduce error -41, but I have been able to reproduce a failure to connect on Windows 2000 SP4.
On the windows server, make sure you are using either 'Microsoft Only', 'Apple Encrypted', or 'Apple Encrypted or Microsoft'.
You can check this by right clicking on 'My Computer', selecting 'Manage', right clicking on 'Shared Folders' under 'System Tools' and selecting 'Configure File Server for Macintosh'. It will be on that first screen that comes up.
If you just MUST use unencrypted passwords, or can't access the NT server, you can set the following and it seems to work fine.
Err:~ eb$ defaults write com.apple.AppleShareClient "afpcleartextwarn" -bool YES
Err:~ eb$ defaults write com.apple.AppleShareClient "afpcleartextallow" -bool YES

RDP Client 8.0 on Mac OS X with RD Gateway connecting to Win 2012 R2 fails

I have this issue, we've done a lot of investigation into this.
We have the following cenario:
Win 2012 R2 configured as RD Gateway and RD Web Access, public IP with HTTPS, in DMZ, valid certificate.
Win 2012 R2 configured as RD Connection Broker, private IP
2 X Win 2012 R2 configured as RD Session Hosts, private IPO
On Windows PCs everything works fine. Mac connected to the internal LAN works fine to, but then it does not use the RD Gateway.
On Mac connected to the Internet we get this error, that I should specify a fqdn-name or use an IP address. The name is FQDN, tried the IP also.
Here's the log extract:

Any update on this would be appreciated.

Hi
We have changed our setup so that the role RD Connection Broker is installed on the same Win 2012 R2 server as the RD Gateway. So the RD CB can be reached with a public IP.
Unfortunately there's no difference.

Lumia Has Big problem - Cannot Connect To Win XP V...

I was planning to Buy Nokia Lumia 1020, as I am a Fan of Nokia at present I have Nokia C7, I got a few friends phones Lumia 720, it does not connect to XP via Bluetooth, which means I cannot send SMS even using MS SMS sender, as Lumia is not Compatible with Nokia Suite, which is a shame, they could have easily made this software like Nokia Suite for Lumia. I did suggest to Nokia CEO Mr. Stephen Elop, he just replyed " Thanks For The Suggestion" Hope he takes this suggestion seriously, there are many symbian users like me waiting to upgrade to better phones and are stuck, to want of this Nokia Suite Like software for Lumia !!!

IOS app 8.1.4 cannot connect to windows 7 pro through windows 2008 RDP gateway since app update

we use Microsoft multi factor auth and radius for 2nd factor auth and that is working but the security log on the windows 7 pc shows that the app is sending the gateway machine login not the user credentials
all works fine using windows remote desktop client and worked perfectly before the app update

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you can remote connect before upgrading to latest version. Here suggest you to try reinstalling the app and check the result. Also see whether you can find any useful log for this issue.
In addition also please check by bypassing RD Gateway server and see whether you can connect to it.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Thinkpad 8 & 10 (Win 8.1) - cannot connect to Win 7 PC

Hi
I have both tablets with Windows 8 on and I am unable to plug the USB cable into the tablet and then plug it into a PC and see the tablet in win 7 PC windows explorer list
I am a technical person so what am I missing ?
Do I actually need to buy a specific USB Datalink transfer cable - as the cables supplied with the tablets are not working when I try and connect to a PC, absolutely nothing happens - not even a searching for device drivers message when you connect them up on the win 7 PC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your tablets are full Windows PC devices, not Smartphones or other slave devices. If you want to connect two "host" USB devices together, you'll need a special USB cable to connect your tablet to a desktop or laptop.
It would be far simpler to share data via your local network, surely? E.g. use Homegroup.

Satellite P300-18M no wireless connection with Win XP Pro

Hello people!
I recently bought a P300-18M and installed WinXP Pro SP3 on it. Everything works fine except the wireless connection. It sais the switch for wireless connection is off, since it cannot find any networks, though the switch is on and the wireless LED is lighted up.
I've checked the FN+F8 hotkey, i've selected wireless only here...
I downloaded the most recent Intel 5400 drivers for the network card, but still it won't find any networks :(
Who can help me out?
Greets from holland, Leon

Hi
There is also a WLan switch at the notebooks side.
This switch must be enabled too.
Please check this!
Additionally you could check the WLan card properties in device manager.
There should be a tab called Advanced.
There are different settings which you should check. For example you can choose the different Wlan standards like 802.11 A B G etc

Connecting to win xp pro from macbook

i have talked to apple care via phone and the geniuses at the local apple store and am hoping someone on the boards can help. i have a new macbook and a winxp pro machine. i can connect to the mac folders in my network places on the windows xp machine and place xp files into those folders (without having to type in a password even though the mac was password protected). But i can not connect to the win xp machine from the mac.
i can reach the authentication screen where i enter my username and password but am greeted with the error "could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct." i am able to connect to a university server that uses windows server (2003 i think). i am 100% sure the username and password are correct. in fact have created a few more users for the xp machine to no avail. i have also changed the mac domain from Workgroup to WORKGROUP just to be certain.
i am pretty the mac is fine. I have gone and changed my registry values on the win xp machine to match what was needed for the xp machine regarding windows server logon.
this issue remains the same if i plug both into a router, connect both via router, or ... i have tried using smb://ipaddress, smb://ipaddress/sharedfolder, smb://computername, and smb://computername/sharedfolder. i can only use apple+K or finder>go>connect to server as if i browse through networks i can not see any servers. i have tried to reinstall 10.4.7 combo updater. though i was not able to connect with just 10.4.7 either. i am able to view my shared music that is located on the winxp machine via frontrow. i am not able to use my windows printer either as i am not able to get past the username and password screen.
i was wondering if anyone has any ideas. the only error i get in the console is "mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed: syserr = Permission denied". thank you all for the help

Jon,
I have been in the same circle for weeks (trying to get a MacBook Pro sharing files with WinXP Pro via a wireless network-the Mac files show up on the WIN machine, but I continuly get error messages on the Mac when trying to connect to the Win -well try this... I just remembered that I have a secondary virus protection program on the Win PC (Mcafee in my case). All of the documentation talks about Windows security - not about other "security blocking programs". There are no flashing lights or clear messages about what is happening. I bet if you check for 'blocked' attempts to connect to your PC you will find your MAC ipaddress listed. My shared network/files just showed up on my MAC desktop and it looks beautiful. Happy computing --pass it on...

Cannot upgrade to win 8 pro on thinkpad twist

I just bought a thinkpad twist with windows 8 and seperately purchased windows 8 pro pack. However the pro install gets to 15% and then fails. People with the lenovo yoga 11 and yoga 13 are having same issue. Microsoft support has not been able to come up with a soluion. Anyone here with similar issue? Any solutions?

I got it to install with help from MS support. Here are the steps:
1. Search for "msconfig" and start the app.
2. Under the general tab select "diagnostic startup".
3. click OK.
4. Restart machine once.
5. After restart. Initiate windows upgrade.
6. After successful upgrade, return to msconfig and reset setting to "normal startup".

Why after i upgraded version 6.1.2, My mail for yahoo cannot connect to my email ?

My ipad, Mac book and iphone also cannot connect to yahoo mail ?

I've had the same problem. Updated last night and haven't been able to use the phone at all since then. Black screen, grey screen, light blue screen, pixelated screen, white screen with darkened corners, flickering screen, white stripe across screen, no connectivity to anyone's computer incl bluetooth. Recurrent dead battery. Occasional apple on screen.
Dead.
Have you had any joy with yours? Or should I just bin it?

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart
