Trying to map a drive to a share on a mac from a PC

My home network has a mac and a pc, the network router is tcpip only.
How do I map a drive to a share on a MAC from a PC? I don't see the Mac in Network Neighbourhood. The mac has file sharing on with SMB. I can connect from the mac to the PC....

It sounds like you're running Lion. In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Once the library is visible you should be able to find the iWeb folder and your domain file. Just make sure you're looking in your Home()/Library.

WRT610N Password will not work when trying to map Hard Drive

I am setup, network is running fine. Trying to map usb hard drive hooked to router, and everytime I try the box asking for username and password pops up, I enter what I know is the correct username and password, and it tells me that it is wrong. If I access the router through the browser using the same username and password it lets me in with no problem. Its frustrating...help!

click on Start - RUN - and type "\\192.168.1.1" (Without quotes) and hit enter, and it should prompt you for the Username and Password, in the Username and Password use "admin" all in lower case and click Ok...Now you should be able to see your USB Drive... You need to right click on it and select "Map Network Drive" and check the box Enable and below click on Finish... This will Map the USB Drive on your Vista computer...

Mapping a drive to a Microsoft Domained share or device

Hi
We have MAC's running OS 9.2 that we need to map a drive to a share on a Microsoft Domained LAN. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this? We know that this command works from OS 10.3 - cifs://windowsIP but it does not work from OS 9.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
This article contains some useful tips:

The upshot is that Mac OS 9 doesn't have native SMB support so you'll need to install additional software. Dave is one of the packages mentioned in the article.

Map a drive letter in a windows 2000 network

I am a new mac user, trying to map a drive letter so I can connect to a windows network. How do I map a drive or otherwise get to the drive letter?

Why do I get "Unknown user name or bad password" on Windows 7 when trying to connect to an SMB share on my Mac?

Before installing the update to 10.7.3 I could connect to an SMB share on my Mac from Windows 7 but I can't any longer. When I try I get the error "Unknown user name or bad password" on the Windows 7 system.
When I try to connect using the "net use..." command I get the error: "System error 86 has occurred".
Does anyone know how to resolve this? What really confuses me is that it was working fine until I installed the update to 10.7.3.

Check the Wins Tab in the Advanced section of Network in system preferences.
If you don't have the same workgroup name and the correct NetBIOS name showing up in the WINS tab you will get the Bad username or password.
I know I deal with this everyday.
There is something wrong with Lion and it does not automatically fill in those entries in the WINS tab.
What I have to do on every reboot/startup is open System preferences go to Sharing and uncheck File Sharing then recheck it. That will fill in the WINS tab entries.

How can I map a drive to Azue file shares without user intervention or having a user logged on?

I have the file share created, and can manually map the drive. I have even created a batch file that will create the drive mapping. One step further, I used the following regedit to create the mapped drive:
Regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
add new string value:
value name: MapS
value data: c:\azurefileshare.bat
I have a scheduled task running a batch file running the net use command, and the drive is available, and I can create/delete files, so access is not an issue.
All works fine if I log onto the server, however, what I am trying to accomplish, is to have that drive mapped upon reboot without having a user log on.   Checking the log file running the net use command when no one is logged on, I get the following:
Status       Local     Remote                    Network
Unavailable S:        path of file share
Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
New connections will be remembered.
Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Hello wdick,
Thank you for your response and getting back on this issue. I am sorry that the blog that I referred to was not available. I pretty much thought that you must be referring to the ‘File Services’ which is in preview yet. I recently had another user with a similar
question but currently, the users can access the files using only 'Interactive logon'. You can refer to this link:

I have one Windows 7 machine that can't map drive to Lion Share Point?

I setup a Lion mac mini server. Mac and Windows clients all can map a drive to the Lion share points with the exception of one Windows 7 machine. When mapping I continually get "the specified network password is not correct" message regardless of which credentials I use. I tried changing the win7 network settings and turning off the firewall but nothing has allowed a connection to happen yet. Any help is appreciated !!!

Also, when browsing the network and choosing the server in the list, I get a login prompt with the error at the bottom "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." It's almost like it is trying to use some other credentials automatically?

Can't map network drive - Network Error 0x800704cf I've tried EVERYTHING (that I can think of)

where client for Microsoft networks" and "file and printer sharing have to both be checked, our IT team has tried plenty of times but
they have NO IDEA what is the root cause, and they just go for the formatting but I can't have that anymore.
When I try in another machine I am able to access with no problems at all..so I know its not my credentials.
All hardware has been checked as well as replaced for other known to be working ones.
PLEASE I NEED HELP

are you on the internet or a local share
Windows 8.1 has better sharing that works properly, I have seen issues with Windows 7, which prompted me to use a server to handle to problem
make sure there is only 1 network adapter in each machine (active)

Error 0x800704b3 when trying to map a network drive

Hi there,
I have the following error when trying to map a network drive in my home network:
"\\iomegahmd can not be reached" and the error code is 0x800704b3.
I already looked into the services, and my strong assumption is that the problem is that the service "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" is not statrted and it is disabled. When I try to start it, there is an error message:
"The system could not find the path specified".
I've also checked the dependency components of the service "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper":
Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock
NetBT
TCP/IP-Protocol driver
NetIO-Legacy-TDI Support driver
in the device manager if they are running, but they are all running. The start is set to "System".
Under the TCP/IP Internet version 4 properties of the wireless device, under Advanced -> WINS Ive set Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, but it didnt help either.
What else could I try, so that I can map network drives?
I should also mention, that the problem persist since some week ago. Before it, it was properly functioning. Also, on the other computers in my networks I do not have problem accessing the same network drive.
Thanks in advance,
Dime

> I should also mention, that the problem persist since some week ago. Before it, it was properly functioning.
Its difficult to say whats wrong in your case. My first idea is: set the system to early time point before this error appeared.
I would also recommend to disable all the security software and check if you come across the same problem.
If you still face the issue, then follow the link to fix the corrupted user profile.

Windows Server R2 stop working. Cannot map network drive with my Win 7 client.

Hi to everyone.
I had a problem for quite some time time and even i tried to solved it till now unfortunately seems unreachable.
I have a 2008 R2 server which is used as SQL 2005 server. My application program shared from the server. My win 7 client use a map network drive to access my share folder from my windows server. Suddenly my clients lost my connection. Since then i
cannot connect to the folder and i got the message
Windows cannot access \\Server\Storage
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
Details: Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found.
I check out my share permissions, all seems ok. I also check out firewall, services, TCP/IP, share folders, really almost everything but still nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the problem.

Yes what seems to happened is due to virus infections.
This problem started 2 weeks a go. First i had network connection error with my client. Them my application had respond errors. Finally i lost my network drive.
I realize that the problem was due to virus. My old antivirus program doesn't s scan any threats so i uninstalled it, and i installed Panta antivirus and i clean up my server and my clients from virus. I am sure that both are clean from virus. My antivirus
program runs every day with no traces of infections.
Since then i cannot see my share folders on my server side and i cannot map network drive.
One thing that i want to avoid is re-installation of windows server 2008 R2.
Can anyone help about this
Thanks

GPO preference not applying to map network drive?

Hello,
Server 2008 r2 GPO preference not applying to users to map network drive? When I see errors on client pc, here is the error I found?
Log Name: Application
Source: Group Policy Drive Maps
Date: 1/7/2014 1:47:33 PM
Event ID: 4098

The following settings have applied to this object. Within this category, settings nearest the top of the report are the prevailing settings when resolving conflicts.

I also have tried using full server name in the share, IP address but no success. :(
I'm using variable %username% in share location: \\servername\share\%username%
Any idea? Please help. Thanks

Just a control question, can you actually access the users homefolder manually from the client?
Drive maps for GP Preferences is used to map drives only. It cannot create folder on the server and that’s why we see the error “0x80070037 The specified network resource or device is no longer available.”. If you'd like to use share location
with Variable, please ensure that these folders exist on the file server.
Hope this helps you!

Map a drive from Windows 2000 to Solaris directory

Solaris is new to me. So, please forgive me if I do not have technical terms correct. We recently installed Solaris (SunOS 5.7). Is there a way to map a drive to a Solaris directory from a Windows 2000 workstation? I tried to do a NET USE j: \\123.123.123.123\home /user:root *, and I receive the following error:
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Is there something I need to do on the server to make this work? I was reading about the share command in Solaris. Is this what I need?
Thanks in advance!

You will need to install Samba on your UNIX box or install Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX...
Samba is probably easiest...both are free...

Map Network Drive - E3000

I recently installed a new router, E3000, and I'm having trouble mapping the attached thumb drive. I can connect through the router to the internet just fine and I used Cisco Connect to access the Storage menu to Create the Share. Then when I try to Map the Drive as detailed in article 21517, I assigned a drive letter and put in the folder address and a small window pops up titled Window Security with the following info:
Enter password to connect to 192.168.1.1
User Name:
Password:
Domaiin: [with the name of the computer that I'm using]
So the question is what user/password combo do I enter here? I have tried the router admin user & password, the SSID and WPA password, the computer admin name and password and the Homwgroup and password. None of these work. This shouldn't be too hard. Am I missing something?
thanks in advance, BDT
Solved!

<<Well, what's the file format are you using ?
It is FAT32. I just grabbed a thumb drive and put a few albums of mp3 files in separate folders. Ultimately, I want to replace this with an external HDD, but I figured this was the easy way to figure out how to get things set up.
<<Also, if you have not formatted the drive using the router utility then you should take the back up of the HD then format the <<drive in NTFS or FAT.
I went ahead and formatted the thumb drive, again using FAT32
<<When you have connected the Drive to E3000 make sure it is not set to Write Protected setup
There is no write protect on the thumb drive.
<<and you have enough permission on the drive.
When I set up the share with Cisco Connects, I the only "Available Groups" were 'User' and 'Guest' and I gave access to both of them.
<<When you map the drive the drive on your computer, when it prompts you for the login credential use "admin" as the username and password and then map the drive on your computer and then check if you are able to open the files on your computer or not.
YES. this did the trick. I never saw anything in the forums or articles about this, but after your note, I found it in the manual. Very simple, but very frustrating at the same time.
I am still struggling with getting my standalone UPnP music clients to connect, but I'll work on it awhile before coming back to the forum for help.
many thanks.

VPN & Mapping a drive

I was able to connect to my work's VPN using the "Internet Connect" application over PPTP. Now I have to "map the drive" to the correct drive on work's server. I tried to "Connect to Server" but had no luck. Does this only look for afp connections?
I am using directions for an XP setup that work gave us. please help! thanks

you can access SMB or AFP each denoted by the prtocol a the beginning of the url:
smb://servername-or-ip/sharename
OR
afp://servername-or-ip/sharename
A windows server can share out as AFP or SMB although for afp File and PRint Services for MAcintosh must be installed, so it probably only being shared as SMB.

Trouble synching mapped network drive in Windows 8

Hello
I have recently bought a Sony Vaio Pro13 with Windows 8. I have also just upgraded to Windows 8.1. I have another laptop running windows 7 to which I have mapped the network drive at my place of work. On the W7 computer, files are available offline and I can
synchronize them without any problem using the VPN.
I mapped the network drive to my new laptop running windows 8 but only about half of the offline files were made available offline and it was not possible to synchronize. I then started again, by deleting the mapped drive, deleting the offline files in the
CSC folder, moved the folder elsewhere and increased the space available for offline files. I then successfully mapped the drive and copies of all offline files were available on the laptop (after about 2 hours of synchronizing!).
However, I have not been able to synchronize the files since. The VPN works for other things (e.g. subscription websites which need a VPN connection) but the network drive is showing as either offline, or when I try to synchronize, the process begins and then
I get a 'failed' message (currently 'the username or password is incorrect'). This can't be the case, or I wouldn't be on the VPN or accessing emails via Outlook - and in any case, it worked once with exactly the same credentials. I double checked in the windows
credentials as well. The sync centre also says that the drive is 'offline (background sync)'.
My IT administrators do not have any suggestions apart from removing 8 and installing 7 because they do not currently support Windows 8...
Do you have any suggestions as to why the VPN works, the files have been made available offline, but the networked drive will now not sync?
Thank you
Liz
