SMB sharing broken in 10.4.5?

Experienced technology user, but new Mac switcher trying to get my WinXP SP2 laptop to connect to a share on my new Mac Mini Core Duo (Tiger 10.4.5).
I can see the Mac in the Windows workgroup from the laptop. When I double click on Mac, I am prompted for my username and password - but whatever I enter, I'm simply prompted again, as if the user/password combo is incorrect.
Deliberately typing an incorrect password gives the same results. I've also tried creating additional accounts on the Mac (and granting permission to use Windows sharing) with no luck. Same issue with firewall on and off.
FTP works, however, so this appears to be an SMB issue.
I have previously borrowed a G4 Mini (obviously running a different version of OS X) and was connecting from my laptop in seconds. There seem to be a number of other people on the web who are experiencing a similar problem with 10.4.5, so presumably this is a bug? Digging around, there are suggestions to edit smb.conf - but this doesn't seem like a very 'Mac like' solution to the problem...
BTW - I spoke with Apple Care about this last weekend - ticket number 60493665. The 'expert' was about to go home and so wouldn't speak with me. I was promised a call on Monday, but am still waiting a week later. Is this a usual experience with these guys?

My problem is, as it works here with multiple Macs all on 10.4.5 and multiple WinBoxes running XP Home SP2, XP Pro SP2, Ubuntu Linux, and WS2k3, I kinda have a problem helping fix it. The problem certainly seems as real as problems get, but it also seems to affect just a subset of users. What kind of machine are you using, both Mac and WinBox? Do you have anything non-standard running on either? (Haxies, themes, specialised anti-virus or anti-spyware? You should note that it's a bad idea to run post 2002 versions of Norton Antivirus on Windows and worse on Macs; in both cases, the antivirus ***** down CPU cycles the way a sailor on leave ***** down alcohol, and as there aren't any real OS X viruses... It's an extremely bad idea to run Norton Utilities on a Mac running OS X. Norton Utilities can destroy your hard disk.) If you can think of anything unusual it may help.
As for AppleCare... they're probably getting slammed with calls about dead and dieing eMacs, but don't get me started on that.

  • OSX 10.8 smb sharing

    Hi, I have a big problem with smb sharing. Before I installes the OS X Mountain Lion I could connect to my Windows 7 computer to watch videos via smb (as Guest), but after the update I can not connect anymore. I did not change anything in computers and this happened. Has anybody else this problem? How to solve it?
    Thank you
    Larerin
    P.S.: Why in system preferences->Sharing is not (when smb is enabled) that I should use smb://ipaddress but only \\ipaddress? Is not smb sharing broken?

    If the Guest account is not enabled in Windows then you would not have been able to connect using the Guest account previously.
    If you do use the Guest account from the Mac, is this the sort of message you get?
    Also, if you do use the first name / password combination to authenticate, does the authenitcation box shudder when you press Connect or do you get some other message?

  • Desperately need help with a networked printer and SMB sharing for windows

    Complete xServ newbie here. I'm a windows/novell admin, with limited experience in Unix and Linux.
    Against my advice, a client of mine that owns a small office of 20 people bought an XServG5 to act as a server for 20 mixed Windows PCs. File sharing services are working fine. I've created the users, set up groups and rights - that's all good.
    I cannot get an SMB shared printer to work from the windows machines. They run through the network printer install just fine, it shows up online, etc. However, when print jobs are submitted they DO show up in the printer queue on the server, sit there for a while, and then get moved to the completed box.
    They never print. There's not any indication that the job is even submitted to the printer. I can print to the printer just fine from the server itself, but the windows clients don't work, but they don't return an error message.
    Print services are running on the server, I've configured the printer name to be less than 12 characters for the share, and indeed it does pop right up during the "add network printer" routine.
    Ideas? I'm not even sure what questions I'm supposed to be asking, such is my ignorance of the OS. I do know that I followed the documentation to a T, and according to Apple this should work.
    Thanks in advance for the help. I'm extremely frustrated.

    We have the same problem. Our printer worked for about 2 years but failed similar to yours after a system update.
    Can you go into the Windows service, Logs, Printer Service. Copy and paste the log here. What I am looking for is a line like lpr: CANNOTCONNECTCLIENT or something similar to this.
    What I expect is that you have a problem where the cups defined printer is not usable. We can't get our problem fixed either - but am just curious if you have the same thing. We reloaded our server, applied all of the update and still cannot get it to work.
    Again, I think it stems from the update.

  • SMB sharing shows ALL drives

    There was very old unanswered question - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7609694#7609694
    ML 10.8.2, sharing enabled. A single admin user (me) on ML
    If I connect to Mac from Windows 7 machine I see all the drives attached to Mac (inc NTFS USB drives via Tuxera driver)
    Not only they are visible, but thay are also accessible (RO)
    Is that the way Mac SMB sharing behaves (it should NOT IMO)
    Seb

    I thought the problem was ACLs, but it was a directory name problem -- and I just completely overlooked it.
    We had folders like this:
    2005 photos
    -> 01/05
    ->-> 01/13/05
    The slashes are outside the SMB specs, so they simply didn't show. Now I guess I need to find a way to rename the folders in bulk, but I know what the problem is.

  • No thumbnails/preview in Nautilus for files in a smb shared folder.

    Hi,
    This is a problem I have tried to solve for more than a year by posting in forums, trial and error and a lot of Google searches. For my work I have to look through large folders on a smb share with movie files. I need thumbnails/preview to be able to work efficiently. On Ubuntu and other deb based distros I have thumbnails/preview in Nautilus just by setting it in the Naurilus preferences for networked folders. Not so on Arch (and Antergos). I do have thumbnails/preview for local files, but regardless of what I do not for the smb shared folders. I have of course configured Nautilus to preview all files.
    I can see that there are generated failed thumbnails in ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory, so for some reason they are not generated correctly for the movie files in the smb shared folder on Arch. I have tried to install ffmpegthumbnailer and tons of other methods I have found in the forums and elsewhere, but I have not been able to get it to work. And again, on Ubuntu it works out of the box so it's not like there's a bug in Nautilus preventing thumbnails for files on a network share.
    I'm running GNOME as my DE, but it doesn't seem to matter which DE I run as long as Nautilus or Nemo is the file manager.
    I do not expect a solution, but one can always hope!

    I had a similar issue, and it turns out nautilus was using ffmpegthumbnailer instead of totem-video-thumbnailer.
    And ffmpegthumbnailer doesn't seem to work with files on "smb://...". It was generating empty pngs.
    Do you have totem installed et does this create an image ?
    totem-video-thumbnailer "smb://videoserver/pathtovideofile/videofile" test.png
    Did you try to uninstall ffmpegthumbnailer or video thumbnailers other than totem ?

  • SMB Sharing with Sharing Only Account

    Is there any way to activate SMB sharing with a Sharing Only account? I've created a Sharing Only account but when I go into the Sharing prefs pane under SMB it only lists normal accounts, not the Sharing Only accounts.

    I'm having a similar problem...only with FTP. I created several "Sharing Only" accounts and none of them are able to connect via FTP. I'm able to connect via FTP as a user with a standard account though.

  • SMB Sharing User?

    Hello,
    Since a good long while i've been working with a Macbook. Being a long term windows user i gradually took the opportunity to study on more OS's than just Windows. However, one of the few things i still havn't figured out is the SMB Sharing capability.
    Let me sketch you an environment.
    Leopard 10.5.5 (And somewhat below) Allows you to share folders, much like windows with policies on what a user can do in a folder et cetera.
    When sharing a folder with Leopard, you go to File Sharing, toggle SMB on, and define an account you want people to use to get into the shared folder. Here, exactly lies my problem. With a guest account i am perfectly able to see the folder on a Windows computer.
    Once i define a user account, let's take "Test" as a subtle one for now. The password would be easily set to "test" aswell. In the User Management interface i've defined a sharing account under the name Test.
    This account will now show up at the File Sharing preference pane. I can select it, and attach permissions to it, such as "Test" may write in folder "X" but, "Everyone (also known as Guest, i suppose?)" May not see anything at all.
    Once i did this, i am unable to at all get connection to the shared folder through Windows, but when i toggle "Everyone" to Read or Read/Write, i can see the folders perfectly clear once again.
    My question is, How so i solve this problem. So that only an account "I" Define, may have access to the shared folder with the credentials "I" once again define?
    Thanks in advance, and i hope to see your responses soon.
    Rene

    Can't solve your problem as we are in the middle of setting up a mac mini snow leopard server with a couple of macs (absolutely fine!) and a couple of PC's both running XP. One will connect but one won't. How do you connect/have your's set up to connect. The problem PC will see the share point in workgroups and allow to enter username and password, but won't mount the volume. so annoying!

  • SMB Sharing

    When I enable SMB sharing on Leopard so that I can access my mac files from Vista, my Vista computer can see everything on my mac hard drive...I mean everything! I have tried limiting which files/folders to share on my mac, but it has no effect. Is anyone else experiencing this phenomenon? It is actually really scary!

    I'm having the same problem. Tried everything from messing with the /etc/smb.conf file with any relevant settings. It calls another config file from /var/run/smb.conf but if you manually edit that with emacs or any text editor and re-start the SMB sharing service, it will overwrite any changes to the defaults and continue to show the shares.
    On a second note, I noticed that when I plugged in my external drives (2 of them for backups) after a minute or so, even though they are not in the list of shares from the "System Preferences" menu, the two drives automagically showed up as shares where the Vista computer could see them and all their contents. This is not good because once they are shared, I cannot eject them any longer as they become locked. The biggest issue after this point (not withstanding the security issue of having all the root level data exposed) is that Carbon Copy Cloner can no longer access the backup drive as it says it is in use.
    I'm pulling my hair out right now and 4 hours Googling an answer and searching in the Apple forums has left me right back where I started, still with no answer.

  • SMB sharing not listed all the files

    Folks,
    We've got a G5 desktop machine running 10.5.8. It had been sharing a RAID array -- Buffalo DuoStation, 2tb, mounted with Firewire -- with AFP for some time, and apparently that had been working fine.
    But the AFP sharing didn't show up in file sharing at all. We had to set up Windows/SMB sharing, turned it on, it came up just fine.
    Except a huge number of the folders are simply not showing up -- like, a majority. Sharing is set to everyone read-only. It's a photo archive, so I can see every day for 2011, but I can't see any of the months for, say, 2005. Only thing that shows is .DS_Store is in the second-level folders.
    Because this is already in production, and I don't know the RAID setup or anything, I'm reluctant to try to run Drive Setup etc. on it to look for permission problems and the like.
    Any ideas?
    Mike

    I thought the problem was ACLs, but it was a directory name problem -- and I just completely overlooked it.

  • [Mac OS 10.7]SMB sharing issue with IPv6

    Hi, Folks,
    I knew there are some big changes about SMB server and clients, the SMB sharing on IPv4 can work fine for me too. But the SMB sharing on IPv6 cannot work fine.
    After checking the TCP ports with IPv4, the port 139 is closed, and I only can telnet with port 445. For IPv6, both port 139 and 445 are all closed.
    Could you give more detail information about it? Or any solution to fix it?
    Thanks & Best Regards!

  • Smb sharing packed up on 10.6.2?

    Hi all,
    So we recently deployed a shining new 10.6.2 mac mini OS X server, to replace our ruddy 10.3 server box, and after the initial upgrade, everything has been up and running perfectly.
    Suddenly, and for no reason, it appears as though SMB sharing has stopped working. Although our network consists of 99% apple clients, we still require SMB file sharing because we have one or two indespensable windows machines on the network.
    So again, suddenly no clients can connect to the server via SMB. Not just windows machines - OS X clients also cannot resolve a 'connect to smb://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd' request.
    We've tried restarting the SMB server many times through Server Admin. Looking at the logs provided some interesting information, and this is listed below.
    Again I'm not sure why this started happening. I should point out that when the problem started happening, i ran Disk Utility and it did find a hefty number of incorrect permissions. This has been rectified (through the usual repeated runs of 'repair disk permissions'... although the SMB problem persists.
    Just to be sure there's no odd file system errors, I'm thinking about:
    1)making a disk image of the entire drive,
    2)backing the thing up
    3)booting to another mac whilst connected in target disk mode
    4)deleting the partitions and restoring the image.
    but obviously, it sounds like a good amount of work. Any other way to get samba happening again? Again, see log below.
    Thank you!

  • SMB sharing with Roku Photobridge

    I'm having issues with SMB sharing, as well, since upgrading to Leopard. In Tiger, I had several shares set up (using Sharepoints) in SMB that contained video files and applications for the Roku Photobridge (which runs a form of Linux), and everything was working perfectly. However, since upgrading to Leopard, I can't get the Roku to connect (I keep getting "Port 139 closed" messages on the Photobridge, even though Portscan shows that port 139 is, indeed, open). I realize this is perhaps a little off topic here, but I'm hoping that someone here has a Photobridge and has gotten this to work. I haven't had any luck on the Roku forums; almost everyone there uses PC's rather than Macs. I've had to switch back to Tiger (thank god I cloned my boot drive before upgrading) so that I can use the Photobridge.

    No other Photobridge users out there?

  • Cannot setup SMB sharing on Yosemite

    I just did a clean install of Yosemite and am slowly recreating my previous setup. However I cannot get SMB sharing to work.
    I turned File Sharing on, my Macbook drive is listed under shared folders then I go into Options and enable SMB. BUT in the section of this window called Windows File Sharing where I am supposed to select the account to be used for sharing (and then enter my password) my account is listed but greyed out and cannot be edited.
    I booted back into my backup from before I reinstalled and the setup looks identical except the section is editable.
    See screenshot (I have blanked out my account name but it is there). But see I cant click the On button - the whole section is greyed:
    Is there something else I need to do to enable this section? Or is it a Yosemite issue?

    Hi !
    I had the same problem, and I fixed by changing the way the password works in Yosemite:
    When I updated to Yosemite, I configured the appleID user and password. It seems Windows share is not working fine with this. Then I changed to "separate password" in "System Preferences"->"Users & Groups"->"Change Password". Once I change that, it worked.
    I hope this works for you.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro SMB Sharing problem

    Hi,
    Would love some help.
    I have a file server that I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.  Problem is, it broke my smb share to 2 Dune Media players and another PC running XBMC on the Openelec platform.  I have spent days scouring forums for information and tried
    every reg hack and security/sharing fix I found but to no avail.  I have since refreshed windows 8.1.  I did however just have a breakthrough.    
    The problem is that the 3 devices above all worked great before the update, now I'm getting errors when ever I try to access a file on the smb share.  On my Windows 8.1 file server I have am running storage spaces with about 8 discs amounting to about
    16TB of storage, plus an SSD with the operating system. What I just discovered is that if I share a folder on the C drive, it can be scanned and accessed from any of the media players.  Therefore it's only the 'storage space' drive that won't authenticate
    an smb client.
    Thanks
    Allan Phillips

    Thanks Alex, I had tried that a few times.  Finally after 3 weeks I found the solution on the WD forum.  Solution is as below.
    Re: WD TV Live does not see shared windows USB drives that are connected via hub
    Options
    ‎01-24-2014 12:46 PM
    Well, nobody offered any opinion so far, but I was able to solve the mystery.
    It is all about the old IPRStackSize of the LanmanServer (Windows NT is greeting us again).
    I was taken off, because access seemed basically to work (at least with Windows machines).
    But the Windows 8.1 event log then told me very clearly : event 2011, irpstacksize not large enough, please increase.
    This event occurred whenever I tried to access the shared drives from my Android devices or especially from the WD TV Live. The only difference netween these 2 systems was that on the Android devices I could at
    least see the drives (but could not really open them), while the WD TV Live did not even boither to show me the drives.
    Now, I have no clue about the actual limits for the IRPStackSize in Windows 8.1 (the values changed from Windows version to Windows version). So I finally used the limit I found for older Windows systems :
    32 (x20).
    And it works now like a chram as it seems.
    By the way - I found stories about older Windows systems, where people increased the value to 20 (x14). So I tried that value first. With the result that I could not access any drive from other network units at
    all. So, the default value for this in Windows 8.1 must be even higher than that. I don;t know what it is, but 32 (x20) is obviously higher.
    Long story short : it is a Windows 8.1 (possibly already Windows 8) problem. And it can be solved by creating manually an entry in the Registry to add the IRPStackSize parameter with the higher value (as you know,
    when this parameter is missing, Windows uses a default value, which is obviously too small for drives connected to a hub and accessed by any kind of Linux systems.
    I still don't have a clue, why the access request by a Linux based system requires obviously more stack size than a request by a Windows machine. That is still something that makes me shake my head.
    Here a little procedure copied from Windows NT solutions :
    1. Run regedit.
    2. Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
    3. In the right pane, double-click the IRPStackSize value.
    4. In the Value Data box, type a value that is larger than the value that is listed.
    If you created the IRPStackSize value using the procedure described in step 4, the default value is 15. It is recommended that you increase the value by 3. Therefore, if the previous value was 11, type 14, and
    then click OK.
    5. Close the Registry Editor and restart the computer.
    If the problem persists after you complete the preceding procedure, try to increase the value of IRPStackSize even more. The maximum value for Windows 2000 is 50 (0x32 hex).
    NOTE: If the IRPStackSize value does not already exist, use the following procedure to create it:
    a.
    In the Parameters folder of the registry, right-click the right pane.
    b.
    Point to New, and then click DWord Value.
    c.
    Type IRPStackSize.
    IMPORTANT: Type "IRPStackSize" exactly as it is displayed because the value name is case-sensitive.

  • SMB sharing is not working for me

    Two machines, one Leopard and the other XP Pro.
    Both firewalls off just to be sure.
    Both machines can ping each other by IP.
    Both user names are the same. (Heck, both passwords are the same too.)
    I have a shared folder on the Mac with SMB enabled.
    When I try to access the SMB share from the XP machine, it prompts me for a user name and password. It rejects everything I try.
    As an aside, on the Mac when I click 'Advanced' for sharing and put a checkbox next to the user name that I want to give access too, which is also the user name I am logged in to, it prompts me for that account's password. It rejects the account password as invalid.
    I'm at a total loss. I have no idea what to try.
    Accessing SMB shares on Windows servers from the Mac is easy.
    -Travis

    I'd try a couple of things:
    1. Take a look in /var/log/samba/ at the file log.smbd. This is the main Samba log, which is the server that is providing SMB file sharing for your Mac. There might be clues in there. Also, you can increase the debugging level of the running smbd (to get more detailed troubleshooting information) using the smbcontrol command. Something like this will boost the debugging up:
    sudo smbcontrol smbd debug 5
    Then, try another connection attempt. You should see much more verbose output in the log.
    2. Create a new test user and enable file sharing for SMB. Any luck connecting as this new user?
