See WinXP shares

hi all,
I am trying to connect to my WinXP PC's shared files <firewall is off> from a MacBook Pro.
I have an airport express.
I can see the Mac from the PC but an unable to see the PC's shares from the Mac.
When i try Finder>Go>Connect to server> type smb://10.0.1.3
I get the following error-
"the Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in smb://10.0.1.3 could not be read or written.
(error code -36)
Any help is much appreciated thanks a bunch

Snow Leopard cannot see winXP shares

Ever since I switched to Snow Leopard all my winXP shares have become inaccessible. I can still see the shared PCs on Finder, but when I try to connect to any of them I get a login prompt. This wasn't happening before. Moreover, even though I'm supplying correct credentials, the connection still fails.

HI,
Try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Can't see smb shares in Mountain Lion

If I go to Go and go to network
I can see the currently powered computers on my network. We have (from left to right) WinXP, Linux (embedded), and Vista.
If I explore into one of them, I can see its shares:
If I open a share then it appears to mount it (the finder icon in the top bar changes, and the behaviour of going "up" a folder (command up-arrow) takes me to the mac folder, where I can then see that it has an eject icon, so it is mounted.
but it still doesn't show up on either "shared", or "devices" in the finder bar. So if I close the window accidentally, how do I get back to it easily?
If I use Go > Connect to server, and then specify the share (smb://pc/share)
I also get a window which is mounted as a drive that does not show up anywhere except in the mac folder.
If I close the finder window, the only way I have found so far to get back to this folder where my network drive is mounted, is to click my home folder:
right click the finder window title
and then select 'Tim's MacBook Air'.
The drives don't even show up on my desktop.
Is there a better way where I can just have any network drive I mount just turn up on the side bar? Is there a special key combination to open the folder that has my mounted drives in it?

Finder window must be open before the shares are mounted for them to appear in the Finder sidebar. Unfortunately, that means even if you use Applescript, you will need to open finder. Or open it and close it for drives to mount automatically.
You can try the script below:
tell application "Finder"
open ("/Applications" as POSIX file) -- replace /Applications with whichever folder you want finder to highlight
mount volume "smb://nameofyourserver/nameofyourshare"
end tell
add
<key>LSBackgroundOnly</key>
<string>1</string>
to your info.plist after you create the applescript app so that the app runs invisible

Dear gurus
I wish to see the PPM for the characteristics after UD. I check in characteristics overview but I can see the share of scrap in % (i.e.-66.67%), kindly suggest the way to see in PPM
Best Regards
MK

Thanks for reply,
but when i check in QA13(on characteristics tab page)in share of scrap column the value is in 0 PPM but after taking UD the share is coming in %(how to see this in PPM?)

How i can see the share point of any Group ?

Hi everybody !
First, sorry for my bad english…
I wish to see everybody Share Points affected on a Group.
It's possible ?

Hi Gilles,
Thank you very much for your pointing and suggestion and I am sorry for my delay response.
I understand there are two kind of CLI on CSM depend on using CSM mode or RP mode.
- show command begins with "show ip slb" when using CSM mode (ip slb mode csm)
- show command begins with "show mode csm x" when using RP mode (ip slb mode rp)
And "show mod csm x sticky config" command can be done on RP mode only.
So I tried to "show ip slb sticky config" command on CSM mode, but I could not find
"config" argument as follows,
ct65svf1#sh ip slb sticky ?
client sticky associated with a specific client IP address
groups list configured sticky groups
| Output modifiers
ct65svf1#sh ip slb sticky
So I think, on CSM mode, I can not calculate the amount of sticky entry by executing one
show command.
Is my understanding correct ?
Best regards,

Allowing two Macs to see one share via fibrechannel

Hi,
I would like to setup an xServe + XRAID to share one volume with two Macs. I thought I will be able to see/write/read to one drive from both machines using fibre channel cards in each Mac. I don't need to write at the same time to the same file. But I do need to connect to the same folder or drive and manipulate other files at the same time.
I am getting different answers from a couple of tech people. Some say it's impossible without Xsan and don't think other software solution is reliable enough. Apple Business sales person says it's possible. His solution is like so:
A. XRAID connected to Xserve via fibre card.
B. Xserve fitted with two fibre cards - one card connects with two cables to XRAID. The 2nd card connects via one cable to one G5 and via the 2nd cable to the 2nd G5.
So if I have only two machines that need high-speed connection to the raid I can avoid using a fibre switch and he promises this will work.
Anyone has a setup like this? If the above doesn't work what's my best solution. Is Charismac fibreshare a good solution compared to Xsan?
Any guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
A.

It sounds like your Apple business sales person could
use a little education on the matter.
I'm confused and baffled on the suggestion to have 2
FC cards in the Xserve and use that for bridging. It
will not work, and it is not supported.
To have two Macs see the same volume, you need a
fibre channel switch. However, without software to
manage reading and writing, they will corrupt the
volume, as fibre channel is a block-level protocol,
and does not support locking primitives (file systems
like HFS+ support this for single machines, and
network file protocols like AFP, SMB, and NFS do it
for sharepoints and multiple machines).
So, for multiple systems to access the volume at the
same time, you need a SAN file system. Most of them
(Charismac's FibreShare, FibreJet, etc.) have "volume
level locking," which means one machine can write to
the volume at a time. This is the WHOLE volume, so
if one of the users is writing files, ANY files,
nobody else can do anything but read. This is a
pain, because if user #2 wants to write, an
administrator must remove user #1's write privileges
before he can write anything. Xsan is a "cluster
file system" and supports file-level locking, which
means you can do exactly what you want.
I will note, though, that Xsan is a bit complicated
to set up, and it really does demand you know what
you're doing, and that you "do it right." To set it
up right, you're talking a minimum of $30K in
equipment and software. You need a dedicated
metadata network, I STRONGLY recommend both a primary
and a backup metadata controller that do almost
nothing else (both would be Xserves), and you should
probably set up Open Directory as well, as it
simplifies things. So we're not talking easy here,
and we're not talking cheap (in the absolute sense of
the word -- though most of the solutions Xsan
competes with are 5 to 10 TIMES its cost).
So what do you get, then, with Xsan? You get
flexibility, and more importantly, you get SPEED. If
you are doing high definition video, with multiple
edit stations, then Xsan is your ticket to
salvation.
If you don't need Xsan's speed (and by speed, I mean
with HUGE, sequential files), then just setting up
AFP on an Xserve that's connected to an Xserve RAID
will give you very good performance (say, 50+
MB/sec), with none of the complexity, at
substantially lower cost. I didn't see your original
motivation for having the volume shared directly via
fibre -- what's driving it?
Thanks for your detailed response. I am learning a lot this week... I am baffled as to why an Apple certified person will claim we can connect two machines to see the same share. He also said that Xsan is needed only we want to work on the same file as the same time - not the same share. To answer your question: I was hoping to gain substansial speed improvement by switching our office from Ethernet to Fibre channel. We have an opportunity to upgrade our current system and have the budget for Xserve+xRaid. I was not aware of the file level limitation that fibre channel presents without Xsan. We do some video editing (DV only at the moment) but mostly graphic design (web+multimedia). We deal with large and small files on a daily basis. We currently share files via a simple NAS ethernet solution (infrant ReadyNAS) which provides reasonable performance. However I feel the system is lagging behind compared to having files stored on a local SATA drive. I was hoping that by investing close to $20K we will upgrade to larger, more durable drives as well benefit from faster connection. I also thought this will also allow us to edit from two or three stations directly to the RAID instead of sticking with one dedicated machine. I wanted the video files to be on one big share. so when an editor is done with final cut pro I can work on the same file in Motion or compress to Flash Video, etc. without copying to another drive.
To summarize I was hoping to create a simple NAS with faster speed. But the more I read about this it looks like we need Xsan but that it is too complicated for a small firm. We are also interested in xserve so we can work via ARD remotely if needed.
The way I see it we can do one of three things:
1. get Xserve+Xraid and have fibrechannel only between them. get a good gigabit router and have files shared by all. I don't know how much faster this will be compared to our current NAS solution but it sounds like we will see some improvement. (we currently all are on gigabit network but I am not sure if the router supports jumbo frames, if all the cables are right, etc.)
2. get Xserve+Xraid and have fibre channel between the two as well as add a fibre channel card card to one G5 tower. enjoy faster speed on that machine but dedicate a drive that is outside of the main NAS setup - do we need that for dv footage? perhaps just for capturing. It sounds like we can edit footage using ethernet connection but I am not sure if that will sustain capture rate.
3. risk it and follow what the apple rep said: try to see the share from two machines without fibre switch - either it works or return the extra fibre channel cards.
It sounds like the current version of Xsan is too complicated for us. The question is how much speed we can get via ethernet and should we try to make one machine a dedicated video unit.
Thanks.

PROBLEM: Filemaker Server is ROOT and ROOT can't see mounted shares

We have Filemaker server 8 running on our machine and have found a silly problem. Filemaker has a built in tool to backup databases. Databases can be backed path can be over the network by typing:
filemac:/[volume]/[path]
Unfortunately, the process "Filemaker" is owned by ROOT, while the server (another OSX server) is owned by the user "filemaker". In theory ROOT is god, and can do anything, but for some reason ROOT doesn't appear to be able to get to shares owned by a user on the machine. Can anyone help me with any of the following potential sollutions?
1) Mount a share on startup as ROOT
2) Allow ROOT read/write to shares that other users have mounted
3) Change "ownership" of the "Filemaker" proccess to be a user (instead of ROOT)
Worse case I could back up the files locally, and then create an applescript to PUSH the files where they're supposed to live, but that feels like one more thing that could go wrong to me, and I like to have as few moving parts as possible.
Thanks in advance

This is incorrect, Filmaker Server is not "ROOT" and you probably won't have much satisfaction pursuing your line of thinking.
ps -aux | grep -i filemaker
fmserver 457 3.0 -2.5 186340 53236 ?? Ss 19Mar06 316:56.83 /Library/FileMaker Server/Tools/fmserverd
fmserver 431 1.1 -0.4 93736 8576 ?? Ss 19Mar06 179:51.17 /Library/FileMaker Server/Tools/fmserver_helperd
I think you may be confusing the parent process with posix user/group permissions. Yes, the parent process of many running processes will show as "root", because the initial process that launches others runs as/belongs to root.
the "root" user in *nix has full permissions and can see mounted shares. You may have some other issues due to misconfiguration, sorry.
Just in case you are doing so, no matter what anyone tells you anywhere, it is not a good idea to log in as "root" via the GUI (when the server finishes booting and asks for a username and password).
One should not do this for a number of reasons.
As for your FM Server problem, I've done two migrations/updates to FM 8 server & client quite recently.
The installation creates a new system user and group, which you will not see without selecting the "show system users" in Workgroup Manager.
The user (ie: owner) is (shortname) fmserver , and the group is fmsadmin
FM Server stores the working databases in /Library/FileMaker Server
and that "FileMaker Server" directory is owned by fmserver:fmsadmin
You should not change that or FM won't run properly, if at all.
You can point to whatever directory you wish, using FM Server's built-in backup automation.
What is probably throwing you off, is that, unless you put a trailing slash at the end of the path you enter (in the dialog for the FM Server built-in backup routine), it will tell you:
"invalid path"

Can no Longer See Windows Shares

My network has always connected no problem. Suddenly today I can no longer see the computers on my LAN. These are all windows shares. All I see are two alias' Llbrary and Servers. Mail and internet operates normally both by ethernet and wireless. I've tried everything I can think of. I managed one time to bring up a folder Workgroups but I have lost that too. I think that folder is usually empty though. I was told there was a short power outage which required a reboot of the servers but that is not unusual. Windows client on the network continue to see each other. Any ideas?

Tom,
you have accidentally posted in the iPhone forum. You might want to try re-posting in the MacBook forum.

Can See Home Share but cannot See Music

I have 3 computers that are all authorized and have home share running Windows XP. Currently my method of sharing music is using a windows share, but wanted to give home share a try. Comp1 is my master, Comp2 can see the home share, view, and copy just fine. Comp3 can see the home share but within a couple of seconds of clicking the home share it goes back to it's own music library with no error. If I access the same library(windows share) through the home share from Comp3 but going through Comp2 instead this works. I can also mount all the songs on Comp3 and see them from home share on Comp1. I can create a small library on Comp1 and this can be accessed through home share on Comp3. Anybody have a clue to why the full library cannot be accessed directly from Comp3 on Comp1?

I had this problem and after trying several suggested solutions, came up with the one that worked for me. My Windows firewall was not the problem, it was the ESET virus software firewall on my XP system. In order to see the shared libraries, I have to turn it off. After playing music, I need to turn it back on. Hope this helps!

Windows 7 machine can't see smb share or any macs

We have 7 render boxes set up on our network, all link to our smb share on our mac server accept one! We run SMBUp on the mac server due to well documented issues with smb and it works fine with 6 of the 7 machines...
I have gone through all settings and checked they match the settings on the other machines. As far as I can tell it matches.
What's strange is the pc used to connect fine, but when we moved offices it just decided to stop seeing any macs on the network!!! It can see the other pc's on the network just not any mac or smb shares.
Somebody please help before I smash this pc into a thousand pieces!!!!
10.9.1 is installed on the mac server.
Cheers
Martin

My guess is that Win7 "recognized" the device as a Realtek and substituted the Realtek drivers for it. Did your Zonet come with an installation CD ... or provides a web support site? If either, I would strongly suggest, that you use their drivers instead ... and this is a good reason you're only getting access with the 802.11g mode.

Mac mini updated to os x lion, afp won''t see qnap share

I've downloaded and update my mac mini and after the succesfull update I can't see any network shares, no smb no afp and no other computers on the network. I've also updated my Qnap ts439 II turbo + to fw 3.4.4 but to avail. Has anyone seen this too? who has a solution
-jan

Hi, as with other users having the TS-209 there is no firmware availabe that can be handled by Lion. (Still 3.30 from oct 2010)
There is a conflict in the netatalk versions. So AFP-share are not accessible by authenticated users.

[PARTIALY SOLVED]Can't see SAMBA share or Printer in Linux

Greetings all,
I have built a headless server running Arch linux as the base OS. I am running SAMBA and CUPS and performing all maintenance of this server via SSH.
The SAMBA share I can see (read/write) on all the Windows 7 machines on the network as well as the Printer connected to the server. But I can't see it when I open Thunar or PCManFM. Nor can I access the printer.
It's obviously something I am doing wrong but I have Googled different parameters trying to find a solution but have come up short.
Your assistance and guidance in putting me in the right direction is most appreciated. All my Linux machines are running Arch.
Thanks,
Ian

I have looked high and low. The printer is set up via CUPS and the printer in smb.conf is set to CUPS. All 4 windows computers in the house now have this printer set as default and can print fine.
But if I try to print in Linux, for example in Libreoffice, I get No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again. When I click ok, the network printer does not show up for me to select.
I have tried updating the /etc/cups/client.conf on the client computer and it is set as:
# see 'man client.conf'
homeserver /var/run/cups/cups.sock
homeserver 192.168.X.XX
From what I have read so far, this is correct. When I go to the CUPS Web Interface it shows under Manage Printer my HP 7300 Series printer there and in idle waiting for job. And in Windows I can print to it just fine.
As far as I can tell SAMBA is set up correctly (I can mount the file drive in Arch with no issues) and CUPS seems to be configured correctly as well from all that I have read.
Any insight would be great,
Thanks,
Ian
