Thunderbolt network access Windows network

First, let me admit that I am brand new to the Mac. I have the new Retina Macbook Pro and like it, but am having real network connectivity problems.
First, when connected through wireless, it is unreliable in resolving Windows host names. For example, I have a server Media, at 192.168.1.229. I try to SMB connect or, more often, Remote Desktop (RDP) connect and it always works through the IP address but is 50/50 through the name.
Second, when I connect with the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter, it NEVER finds the Windows servers, even by IP address. Internet connectivity is fine, so it is connecting to the network. I unplug the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter, and I'm back to (1) above.
Third, I'm running the latest version of Parallels with Windows 7. It experiences the same issues (1) and (2) above.
I've searched the 'net and the forum, but unsuccesfully.
This is keeping me from loving my new Mac. Like it, don't love it.

Hi DawnAngelique,
In addition to carey , please check your LAN connection and network state .
If the issue persists I would suggest you to update driver for your network adapter then check the result .
Please feel free to let us know the further progress .

Are those with a problem using share level security on the samba server?
Have you tried accessing the share using smbclient? (smbclient //server/share)
I have been receiving the original dbus error for some time now.
I am using share level security on the server.
Using smbclient results in a segfault. Using nautilus also results in an error from libsmbclient which can be seen in one of the log files.
[mythtv@tvee ~]$ smbclient //sirschmoopy/shared
Enter mythtv's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.1]
Server not using user level security and no password supplied.
Segmentation fault
There is a samba bug which looks similar but it only affects people with ipv6 disabled. I have disabled and enabled ipv6 several times and the errors persist.
I think it may be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7250
I haven't tried the patch provided yet.

Access windows network

hi.
at the moment my linux box is connected to the windows network and how to access other computer in the workgroup/domain. ?]
Note : i am the only linux box on the network.... javascript:emoticon(':twisted:')

wem wrote:how to use samba....any simple tutorial or guide for to read...
If using KDE just open Konqueror or Krusader and type in "smb:/winmachine" or whatever the name of the windows puter is. KDE has SMB modules included, no need to install the samba package at all.
For Gnome/XFCE I think a valid smb.conf is needed- not sure though, as I'm a KDE guy.

Problem accessing Windows network - permission checking is inconsistent

I am in the process of making the move at my workplace from a Windows/Solaris environment to an exclusively-Solaris workstation environment. I have wanted to do this for a while but now that Evolution is bundled in with Solaris 10 I have finally embarked down this path.
One of things that I need to be able to do is access Windows shares on our corporate network. I am having a few issues with this using the Java Desktop system in Solaris 10. Here is a quick view of the windows network hierarchy.
Windows Network -> Sub-network -> List of machines ->
List of folders on a given machine -> List of sub-folders within a given folder and so on ....
Here is what I am trying to do.
1) Double Click 'Network Places' from the desktop.
2) When the window 'File Browser: Network Places' opens, it appears that my Solaris workstation has automatically detected the presence of a Windows network. Very slick!
3) Double click on the 'Windows Network (SMB)' icon.
4) A list of sub-networks appear. Occasionally this list is not 100% complete. ie. there are 5 sub-networks but only 2 will appear on occasion.
5) Double click the smaller network that I wish to access. The various machines within this network appear as a list of hostnames.
6) Double click on the machine that I wish to access and a list of folders on this machine appear.
7) Double click on the folder that I wish to access and a list of subfolders is presented. When I try to naviagte deeper an 'Authentication Required' window appears. I enter my username, password and domain. I also check the 'Remember password for this session' and 'Save password in keyring' options.
8) I am prompted with a 'Create Default Keyring' window asking me for a password to associate with the default keyring. I enter the same password that I entered in Step 7.
9) A list of subfolders appears. This is great. But when I attempt to navigate any deeper ... I cannot. A dialog pops up saying "The folder contents could not be displayed" with a message stating "You do not have permissions necessary to view the contents of the "foldername".
At this point, the file broswer gets in to a funny state. I try to hit the 'up' arrow to return to the folder which I could previously access but I am now greeted with a dialog claiming that I do not have permissions to access this folder. I cannot access anything past the first folder level on a given machine even though I could just a minute ago. This "funniness" clears up after some length of time. ie. if I come back in an hour, I can once again reach part 1 of step 9 without being greeted with permission errors.
Are there any SAMBA config options that I need to tweak or add to my smb.conf file to make :
1) the listing of Windows networks be more consistent
2) the permission checking to be more consistent and stable
Or does the issue lie on the Windows side of things.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Tim

Thought I would update this one myself in case anyone else was having similar problems with a baseline Sol10 install. I suspected the problem was with Samba or the GNOME Keyring Manager. I downloaded Sun's new Update Connection tool to stay on top of patches. (http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42e02045) I installed a slew of GNOME and underlying OS patches and things are working now. Pays to stay up to date. ;)

Msiexec + network access = windows hang

We have faced application installation problems with windows 7 enterprise sp1/IE8 while running an installation sequence containing some windows installer based silent uninstallations and installations.
Sometimes windows stops responding during installation sequence.
Installed application packages are pretty simple like python msi - package.
Active open application may continue after crash to work for a while. Mouse cursor keeps working. Screen saver gets activated normally. But this is not just a windows explorer crash, control-alt-del
do not work and open task manager window freezes.
Processes like windows installer keep running because some timeout related error messages may appear after waiting a longer time without hard reset.
System and Application logs look pretty normal. No crashes, but system is either extremely slow or lost some functionality completely.
If installation sequence works fine but you start internet explorer before booting after latest MSI - based installation, same symptoms appear.
This can be repeated using different kind of hardware and even at virtual environment with frequency about 10 - 20 % of installations, however starting IE after installations before reboot seems
to freeze the system always.
When installing without network there is no problem except that you can freeze the computer with IE even without network connection.
Any idea what kind of network related issue could cause such a problem ? Not a network driver issue I suppose because this is repeatable in different windows installations. Windows installer
based uninstallations/installations together with http - connections seems to trigger the problem.
There are some http - based activity during installation if the network connection exists. Putting windows installer packages to a network share or keeping them locally do not change the situation,
key to the problem might be those sent http - based installation messages. It's hard to understand how the whole system gets randomly unresponsive during this kind of basic activities.

Hi，
So from your description, IE and msiexec +network make Windows no responding.
In order to eliminate some software\device driver conflicts, I suggest you test this issue in cleanboot mode and safemode with networking, and see if issue persists, you can refer to these links
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7
if you have some add-ons installed in IE, disable them, test issue again, some "bad" add-ons can take over high CPU\memory and make windows no response. (Tools\Manage add-ons), meanwhile, delete IE browser\temporary files
Make sure that there's no other pending installation in your system such as software or updates.

Kernel panics after accessing Windows network

When I have connected to a Windows server and then disconnect my Mac from the network I receive an odd-looking error message (something about a C: drive that cannot be not found). As soon as I click the OK button of that dialog window I get a KERNEL PANIC (dark screen and everything).
Needless to say, I am of course loosing a lot of valuable data when this happens. Unfortunately, the application that automatically tries to report the error to Apple also doesn't succeed in sending the info(!). All other network functionality seems to work fine though.
Is this a unique problem, or has it been documented (and hopefully solved) before on this forum?

We've been having similar issues, check this thread for more info and a potential resolution.
Good luck, hopefully this is patched in 10.5.6 as it's become very frustrating.

Can't connect to Windows network (ethernet)

im trying to connect my macbook to existing, enterprise Windows network. im not at all concerned w/ sharing files on my mac... but i would like to be able to:
1) use the (ethernet-based) Windows network for internet (its DHCP-based)
2) use the Windows network's printers
3) access Windows network shared folders
...having trouble.
currently, im plugged in via ethernet (good cable) and "Connected".
however, when selecting "Using DHCP" it says:
"Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to
connect."
...my Windows co-workers use DHCP, but their addresses are in the
10.5.2.x range; whereas mine is a 169.x.x.x address. somebody told me that:
+"This is an address used to request an address from the DHCP (Dynamic+
+Host Configuration Protocol) server for your network. Seeing this+
+means for whatever reason you are not getting assigned an address+
+by that server. The first thing I'd try is asking your network+
+administrator about it. It could be the network access is restricted."+
...ive checked, and we are not restricted; our admin thought i should be able to get an IP address.
any ideas?
thanks,
sm

If you are not getting an address via DHCP, and your mac is set up to accept DHCP on the Ethernet network line, then you are probably not physically connected to the network. Tell your admin to help you get a connection to his network.
Second, to access a Windows Active Directory domain, have your admin use the Directory Utility located in the Utilities area of Finder (this is in Leopard, not sure about earlier versions) have him bind you to his Active Directory domain. The domain name is his AD domain name, and the computer name is what he and you want to name your computer. The reason he/she has to do it is because you need a Windows/AD admin user ID and password to do it, just like you were doing this to any Windows machine.
This makes accessing Windows objects easier. Alas, Windows printing via AD seems to have been broken with the 2008-002 security update, but I have to think this will be addressed.

Apple Mac no longer accesses Windows XP shared Folder on Network

Hi All,
I have a PC running Windows XP hooked up via an ethernet hub to my three macs. I was able to access the "My Documents" folder on the PC no problem (I set it up to be shared on the PC).
I recently had to replace my ADSL modem. I used the installation disk that came with it on one of my Macs, now this Mac can't access the shared PC folder.
It networks fine with the other Macs, and the other Macs talk fine to the PC. The internet connection is fine for all computers (including the PC).
However, when I try to access the folder on this one Mac, I get the message:
"The Alias "XXXXXX" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"
I am then invited to either fix or delete the alias. When I try to delete the alias, I am told that I don't have sufficient privileges (even though I am logged in as an administrator). I can't fix it, because I can't locate what I want it to point to.
I have tried renaming the PC. What happens then is that the alias is also renamed (so the Mac is seeing it after a fashion), but the alias still won't work on this one computer.
I can't help thinking that the install disk has altered network settings somehow on this computer, but I don't know where to go from here.
Help, please!
Cheers!
Karl

Hi
Thanks for your reply:
When I used Terminal, this is what happened (I'd logged in as a root user):
Karl-Texlers-Computer:~ root#
Karl-Texlers-Computer:~ root# cd /automount
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# ls
Servers static
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# sudo rm Servers
rm: Servers: is a directory
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# sudo rm servers
rm: servers: is a directory
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# sudo rm static
rm: static: is a directory
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# cd/Network
-sh: cd/Network: No such file or directory
So I still can't delete the servers.
What should I do now, please?
Cheers!
Karl
I think they are at the Root of the HD, in the
hidden Files/Folders/Aliases called...
automount/Servers
automount/static
Network
In Terminal type or paste...
cd /automount
Type ls into terminal to be sure we are there, should
show like...
bdaqua:/automount bdaqua$ ls
Servers static
Now type...
sudo rm Servers
After entering and completing, type...
sudo rm static
Then type... cd /Network
An ls command should show like ...
bdaqua:/Network bdaqua$ ls
Servers
Type...
sudo rm Servers
Reboot and see if we fixed it.
CAUTION: sudo gives you Super Powers, and rm will
remove whatever is typed after it... so you can, if
not precise/careful, remove anything/everything!

Windows 7 hangs and switches off network access

We are running a Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit operating system as our server.
About on 30 minute intervals the computer hangs and switches off network access.
If the computer is in this state and you try and access it from another computer nothing happens.
While in this state you can see the desktop indicating that it's not in sleep mode.
The problem is rectified by click the mouse on the computer.
It has not gone into a sleep mode as everything on the power options is set to never.
Please help?

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

>   * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

Windows network setup: can't share on network and have each system access internet directly

Windows network setup would not let me set up my network so that I could both:see my other computers on the network and have them both connect directly to the internet. It wanted to set one up as a server.
Is it dangerous to arrange it that way?
If not, several people have told me it should be no problem to set up my network so that my computers can see each other and share, and yet still ahve access to the internet. I think this is enabled through DHCP?
Would someone mind lending me a hand?
I have a BEFW11S4v2
