Nas issues

Nas issues with mountain lion, wired drop connection, permissions issues.

not i use mountain lion , maverick and do the same issue, i have the last firmware on the nas, i contact the company and that is a issue after snow leopard, on snow leopard working right, that means something is changed on lion to the maverick, thanks any way but is easy to say support is not provided on these forums because apple knows dont do nothing to give a solution.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups. I use a synology DS212 for my time machine. Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014. As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012. Not sure what that is.

This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
(I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.

New Os 10.5 Security update today....but didnt fix my SMB/NAS issue!

Since I am one out of many here in this forum that cnnot connect his NAS harddrive to Leopard, i was looking forward to receive an update from Apple.
Now today there is an update available, which also states it fixes Samba issues....but unfortunately no change on my NAS harddrive. still can connect, see the main folder, but cant drill down and see the files or access files. all works fine on windows (!!) and if i connect the NAS to the Mac straight away.
anybody else still has issues after today's software update?
Please let me know,
Thx, Markus

As soon as I read your post, I went checking for software updates and voila, there was the Security Update.
I downloaded and installed it, but no good news. Finder still only shows the topmost shared folders inside the NAS drive, but it doesn't let me browse into them.
I really think there is something wrong with the kernel or with the smbfs support. Are we supposed to get stuck with this problem until Apple finally releases Darwin 9.1? How long will it take?

Iomega NAS - Issues

Hi, I have this is in the right section!
About a year ago I bought a 2TB NAS from PC World, it's always worked great up untill about now.
The problems i'm having is the NAS keeps beoming unresponsive. Widnows can't access it and I can't ping it (time out) so I literally have the push the button on the back to shutdown then reboot.
Why does this keep happening?
Another issue is files seem to be getting corrupt? I've made multiple images in PS and move them to the NAS then next time I log on I can't open them! Getting file not supported in windows photo viewer and PS can't even open the PSD.
Could really do with some advice how to fix this!
Thanks in advance.

ITunes Library on NAS - issue with saving the library file

I recently moved my library file and all iTunes data to a NAS. Generally, this setup seems to work (although writing files and editing information is fairly slow). However, when iTunes is open for longer periods, I often get the error message "The iTunes library cannot be saved. The required disk cannot be found." The connection to my NAS drive seems ok, though. I would welcome any ideas or reports of any settings changes that may have fixed the same issue.

It sounds to me like your NAS is going to sleep.
From what I have read on this forum using iTunes with NAS has all kinds of issues.

NAS Issue

Hi - As part of the process of switching from a PC to an Imac, I am setting up a NAS (Buffalo Linkstation) which holds all of my digital music. The NAS is set up through a network using a router. The Imac is able to see the NAS, however the issue I am having is that the NAS unmounts each time the computer goes to sleep. Is there a way to keep the NAS mounted even when the Imac sleeps?
Alternatively, what will happen if I don't let the Imac go to sleep?
Thanks

Chris,
Modern LCD screens cannot "burn in." It is impossible. However, CRTs and plasmas and I think old LCDs can.
To answer your original question, stkilda, I have had this same problem with many firewire and USB drives. I don't think it's possible to keep it mounted when your mac goes to sleep.
However, I do think you could have a workaround. Write a script that mounts the drive, and have the script run automatically when it wakes up. I don't know how to do this, myself, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.

Moving Library to NAS Issue

I went through all of Apple's steps to move my iTunes library to an NAS, but while consolidating, the drive unmounted, and it failed. So, now I am manually going through and copying over the files that didn't transfer to the NAS. If you go to preferences, it shows the iTunes library location as blank. The files that successfully transferred show their location as the NAS the ones that did not transfer still say the local drive. After I get everything copied, do I merely change the location of the library in preferences, or do I also have to click consolidate again, and will that action copy everything over, or just anything that I may have missed?

Hi Daniel,
I found these articles online. Hopefully they answer some of your questions. (I have a Synology NAS with my entire iTunes library on it and it works great, so it is possible! Hang in there!)

Ssh portforwarding tunneling etc etc..NAS issues

I have a NAS HDD behind a wireless router with an internal ip 192.168.0.4 it has a ddndns service which I have setup so the host name i have picked is foo.ddndns.com but when i see the IP of foo.ddndns.com it is my ISP's dynamic IP
now can I test ssh into my NAS
a) for an external IP
b) from my arch laptop which is 192.168.0.12 on the internal network
the home network is ISP MODEM >>DLINK ROUTER>>AIRLINK ROUTER>>NAS
the airlink router is used as a switch coz there are way too many devices in my network
Thanks for all SSH gurus
cheers
and i have forwarded port 22 on my dlink router which is 192.168.0.1 following is the screen shot of the setting

the airlink router is not being used as a router...it is just being used as a switch whcih is basically the input from the Dlink router just goes into one of the empty lan ports in the airlink router and there is nothing going into the WAN port of the airlink router
I am not sure if that makes it a little clear?

Time Machine error -1, cannot access sparsebundle (but not a NAS or WD problem)

Hello, this is my first post here, so I'll try to make it a good one!
I've been wrestling with this problem ever since I bought my Core i7 iMac (SSD + 1TB HD) over a year ago. I have not gotten Time Machine to work during that whole time. Well, I got it to work backing up directly to my internal HD, but that was just a test; it's not what I want. So let me describe this in the most clear and consise way I can:
I want the Time Machine disk to be my Synology NAS. I've configured a share on it correctly. I have an older iMac running SnowLeopard backing up to the same share on the NAS with TimeMachine successfully. But, my iMac won't do it. Whether I create the sparsebundle manually, or I let TimeMachine create it, it always gives the same "error -1". I wrote a more detailed account of my symptoms here (my message is the reply), when I thought this was a NAS-specific issue.
New development: This is not a NAS issue. I found that out by trying an experiment:
First, I tried to back up my SSD using Time Machine to my internal 1TB disk - I selected the "1 TB Secondary Disk" as the Time Machine disk. I initiated the backup, and it worked fine, putting the time machine backup in the "Backups.backupsdb" directory structure at the root of the drive. I then turned off Time Machine and "removed" the 1TB as my backup disk.
Then, I created a sparsebundle at the root of the drive using this command:
hdiutil create -size 150g -fs HFS+J -volname "Time Machine" NAME_xxxxxxxxxxxx.sparsebundle
(where the "xxxxxxxxxxxx" is my ethernet MAC address). I then selected the "1 TB Secondary Disk" as the Time Machine disk again. Time Machine found my sparsebundle and started working with it... and got "error -1"! So even on a local drive, when Time Machine tries to use a sparsebundle for backing up, it still doesn't work.
Now, I have the console log entries that were written during the Time Machine backup attempt:

So, here I see it tries to resize the sparsebundle to the full volume size, and fails. I don't think I want it to do this resize, because I don't want it to fill up my whole NAS share. I searched and found this post, which specifies how to set the permissions in the sparsebundle such that it won't be resized. I followed those instructions with a new sparsebundle, and see the same problem... tries to resize, and fails.
I do not have Western Digital software installed and never have.
I've tried everything on this page.
It seems like the attempt to resize is corrupting the sparsebundle. Before starting the backup, I can mount the sparsebundle and manually copy files to it. After attempting the backup, I can mount the sparsebundle, but I cannot copy anything to it manually. Note that I can mount the sparsebundle that the MacBook Pro uses for Time Machine, and manually copy files to and from it (in other words, the correct SnowLeopard configuration does allow manual copying).
I have tried repairing the sparsebundle using the Disk Utility, which restores the ability to manually copy files to it, but Time Machine once again renders it unwriteable when it attempts to back up.
Anyone know of anything else I can try? Thank you so much!
Dan

Yeah, sorry about the broken link. I noticed that link wasn't working after I replied, then I edited my earlier reply. Also, yes, copying the files was just meant as a test; I created new clean sparsebundles for other tries.
Anyway, I'm not too worried about the resizing for now; first things first, let's just get Time Machine working with a sparsebundle at all.
I don't know how to make Time Machine create its own sparsebundle on my local drive; if there isn't a manually created sparsebundle at the root, it just puts everything in the "Backups.backupsdb" directory structure without a sparsebundle. However, it of course does create its own sparsebundle when I point it to my NAS share (as I understand it, Time Machine knows the NAS filesystem doesn't support everything it needs, so it creates the sparsebundle to emulate the correct filesystem). As I have always gotten the same "error -1" when using the NAS share as I did when using the local sparsebundle, I was assuming the same problem was happening in both cases... but now I've checked the console log after doing a backup attempt on the NAS share, and I see different stuff:

So... looking through this, it does some mounting, which all works fine, then it does a create sparsebundle, which appears to work fine, but then it tries to "hide extension", but it can't because it can't find the sparsebundle that it supposedly created. Then it tries three times to eject the NAS share ('TM Backups'), and fails, and gives up. At this time I get the "error -1" pop up on my monitor, and check the NAS share (using the disk utility on the NAS managment page), and sure enough there is the sparsebundle "iMac.sparsebundle". So why does it create it, but then not be able to use it?
Skiing tomorrow, must sleep now. :-)

ISE 1.2 - WLC 5508 - NAS sends RADIUS accounting update messages too frequently

I'm getting this error in ISE referring to my Cisco 5508 WLC. I'm not sure how to turn down the frequency. Any ideas?
NAS sends RADIUS accounting update messages too frequently
Verify NAS configuration. Verify known NAS issues.

I opened up a TAC case with Cisco yesterday and this is the response i got from them:
There is bug on the WLC side to reduce the number acct updates:
CSCug14713- WLC sends acct-update twice in the same millisecond
This is fixed in 8.x on the WLC.
So, it looks at though we just have to deal with it until they release an 8.x version for the WLC. In the meantime, you can disable the alerts in ISE.

Edit that alarm and set it to disabled

ISE 1.2 - Error 12929 NAS sends RADIUS accounting update messages too frequently

We are currently running Cisco ISE 1.2, and every day under the "Misconfigured Network Devices" section on the main ISE Page, I have a huge list of different devices that are all being flagged with the following error message:
"12929 NAS sends RADIUS accounting update messages too frequently." " NAS sends RADIUS accounting update messages too frequently
Verify NAS configuration. Verify known NAS issues."
The list of devices seems to all be Cisco switches; albeit different models, IOS versions, ect.
i have searched on this issue, and the closest thing to a fix I can find is that it would be fixed in a WLC update, but that was 9 months ago. I would like to know what causes this issue, and what needs to be altered in ISE, or on the switches to resolve this.
Thank You.

CSCuh20269 WLC sends acc updates too frequently, indicates user roams to itself is the defect specifically on the WLC that is fixed in one of the 7.6 releases.
Along with the config Jatin mentioned, you may want to try pulling an Accounting report from ISE periodically and analyze the traffic/isolate the endpoints/supplicants that may be causing a lot of activity (For ex frequent IP changes ) which results in frequent accounting updates.

Moving ITunes to a NAS

Tomorrow I am getting a Synology 213j 2 bay NAS, that comes with their version 5.0 DSM software. I will have 2 x @TB drives installed.
My intention is to replace all of the functionality of my Mac Mini Mavericks server. This server was set up as my primary DNS zone, I have a domain name and I was using it (as a hobby) to do Profile Management for our Macbook, IPads and IPhones. Upgrading from ML to Mavericks screwed up my Open Directory setup somehow, and I can no longer add in Local Network users, so my dream of logging in anywhere and having access to a roaming profile has been dashed. I throw in the towel on being a Mac Network Administrator and I am giving most of my server jobs to the NAS.
Hopefully I can get some tips from the community on how to successfully set up media storage on the new toy, video, photos and music. I know it can be a DNS server, so I should be able to point my domain name at it and get access to my system via the internet still. I have SSL certificates now for the Mini, and I may as well use them for this system.
I am hoping to avoid any mistakes in setup, I don't want to have lots of duplicated work. Perhaps you can tell me how you laid out your file system so that My Macbook and Imac, and the new downgraded Mini can all access the same files without stepping on each others' toes.

I know almost nothing about fancy network protocols. I do know what I have read here about NAS issues and general library sharing.
First, NAS add a level of complexity iTunes does not seem to be able to handle. I don't know what is tested when iTunes is developed but browse the forum here and you will see quite a number of posts where people have NAS and misbehaving iTunes. Of course given the nature of the forum there aren't many posts saying, "NAS and iTunes work great, no problems!"
In some cases people put just media on the NAS and keep the library files on their computer. This seems to be the cause of most problems because iTunes somehow loses the location link to the files over all the network protocol. Not all the time, just from what I have seen from posts here. A month or so ago there was a spate of NAS posts where this happened and for some reason iTunes wasn't able to automatically rebuild the links after finding just one track which meant the people had to rebuild their libraries.
You may also end up not being able to have it all. If you want each computer to be able to share a library you can do so by having each one point to the library file on the NAS, but remember only one open copy of iTunes can use that file at any one time. The alternative is to have a library for each computer. This is where is starts getting complicated and I am going to get tired of typing any moment now. You could keep the library files on the computer and store media-only on the NAS,at peril mentioned earlier. Or you could try keeping each computer's library on the NAS with multiple library files sharing the same media collection. I have no experience with that but it may help the split library risk by at least making sure they are on the same drive.
However, remember, iTunes does not "inventory" the media folder. If you add a new track in one library it will not update in the others unless you manually add it. However, there may be things you can do with Home Sharing and then again depending upon whether or not you are using iTunes Store or are getting your media elsewhere.
Oh, no sleep, no power saving. That for sure is a problem with iTunes and external drives.

ITunes 10 on NAS

I am buying a Netgear NasReady drive and want to move my iTunes 10 library to the NAS drive. I have read several forums that say iTunes 10 does not work on NAS. Can someone confirm that iTunes 10 will work on NAS and how would I move the library?

I'm a relative newcomer to the MAC, but had been using iTunes previously on a Windows machine with all the iTunes files local. Never had any issues. I now have my MAC Book Pro connected to a DLINK DNS-325 with 2x2T drives configured for RAID 1. I had numerous issues after first configuring iTunes to use the NAS. Some of this may have been user error. But this weekend, after reading through a number of posts I "cleaned things up". By that I mean I created a fresh media folder on the NAS, keeping the library files on my local drive. Once it was working I removed my previous media folder and its contents on the NAS as well as the media folder on my local drive that had been created and had some albums in it. I also set the advanced preferences to indicate the NAS for my media folder. I was confident that I had a clean system. Since then I have confirmed some bugs (IMO) in iTunes that make it difficult to use NAS.
1. iTunes will change the advanced preference for the media location to the local drive without informing / warning the user. I'm not sure when it happens exactly, but suspect it might be when it can't read the NAS for some reason (e.g. the NAS is not being responsive). This just happened to me, a couple of days after my clean up effort.
2. iTunes is "too" good at finding / creating media directories. For example, finding one even if it is renamed and in the trash can. This happened to me while I was cleaning up and testing. iTunes will also create a new media folder locally if one does not exist. One might call these features, but when the program doesn't inform the user it is doing so, I think it's a bug.
I think this behavior is what ended up getting me screwed up previously (with music in my NAS media folder as well as a local media folder. Resultant ! songs and a lot of frustration.
I don't know if fixing the above solves all NAS issues with iTunes, but it might go a long way.
Another observation that I can't say is an iTunes issue per say. I use the third party TuneUp program to (primarily) manage my album artwork. With my NAS configuration, adding artwork for an album hangs up iTunes pretty significantly (can't scroll the music list or anything for a minute or two). I'm going to follow up on the TuneUp support group on this one. But if anyone can share details or point me to a link to explain where album artwork is stored in might shed some clue as to the root cause.
Good luck to all the iTunes NAS users!

Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Can I use Photoshops example images on my companies web site?

On the Photoshops CD, there is a lot of example images, Can I use these example images on my companies web site?

Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!
Does that resolve the NASA issues?
