Win10 connection breaks network share (SMB)

I've noticed this little issue since installing Windows 10.
I have a Windows 7 PC which has a shared drive.
I access this drive from my 2 laptops, and 2 media centers.
All is fine, UNTIL I connect to this network share from the Windows 10 laptop.
Once I do this, I can no longer connect to the network share anymore. Always get timeouts.
Thought maybe something was hogging up the allotted 20 connections, but checked fsmgmt.msc, and it shows no connections to my shares after I close out.
The only way to access the network share again, is to reboot the Windows 7 PC.
Again, this ONLY happens after I connect to said share from the Windows 10 laptop.

I'm getting this exact issue as well! as soon as I try and connect to a share on my domain I'm not able to ping any servers from the Win10 machine and i can't ping back.

Finder crashes when trying to connect to network share

Hi!
I've just upgraded my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro to Mavericks, and found that Finder always crashes when trying to connect to my office network share via an IPSec VPN connection. It's a Synology DiskStation NAS, so i have the options to connect via AFP or SMB, however both result in the same, the crashing of finder. Even after i relaunch it, i can't open finder, and can't even shut down or restart my system (only by holding the power button for 5 secs...)
At first i thought it's the result of the latest Little Snitch version, but the problem remained after completely removing Little Snitch.
Unfortunalely i won't be able to try connecting to the NAS on the local network until monday, but i'd really appreciate if someone could point me to the direction of some solution as this way i can't do any of my work.

Just a quick heads up. I finally managed to resolve the issue. It seems that mavericks doesn't handle the MTU of the vpn connection correctly, so i ended up modifying the MTU on the VPN gateway.

Windows 8.1 laptops losing connect to network share

Good Morning,
We have a few laptops that seem to be able to connect to our network file share and then al of a sudden, its unable to find or access this file server. Trying to isolate what the issue could be. I am going through GPO setting to see if something
is misconfiguration. I know with Windows 7 there used to an excel spreadsheet that explained what settings did what for different systems. The logs do not seem to be providing much help.

Neeskokotywak,
If you haven’t already, try connecting to your share by IP address.
If this works and stays connected, it’s almost certainly DNS issues that you’re having.
It’s also worth trying a few commands on the laptops experiencing these issues.
Press your Windows key and X simultaneously and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Make sure to choose the Admin option as you’ll need elevated privileges for some of these commands.
Enter the following commands:
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
ipconfig/flushdns
netsh winsock reset
You didn’t mention what method you were using to connect to your file share but more information on creating a shortcut to your network share can be found on
this webpage. I hope this helps!

PC won't connect to network share

I have a Windows 7 PC that won't connect to a network share.
I can ping the server.
The PC has a static IP and is on the domain.
I've removed the PC and re-added it from the domain.
I've tried on a couple of different user accounts, but when either try to run to the server and share (start->run \\server\share) or use "Map Network Drive" it fails.
Any advice ?

The PC has a static IP and is on the domain.
The DNS points to your local DNS server?
or open up this registry settings:
HKLM->System->CurrentControlSet->Control->NetworkProvider->Order-> ProviderOrder
check the value of that string whether it contains this value: RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation
or compare the value of the registry with any machine on your system that is working fine.
Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Moving Time Machine Drive from Direct Connect to Network Share

I have a 1 TB external USB 2 drive I use for my Time Machine backup. I'd like to move that drive to a file server and continue backing up to it. The problem appears to be that when backing up to the drive as a network volume, Time Machine wants to create a new sparsebundle for the backup and not use the existing TM backup folder on the drive.
Is it possible to migrate a Time Machine drive from direct connect to network while preserving the backed up data? Thanks!

Depending on what "file server" you're using, that may or may not work reliably. Here's the criteria they must meet: Disks that can be used with Time Machine. And be careful here: just because some 3rd-party hardware claims to support Time Machine doesn't necessarily mean that Apple supports it, or that it will work in all circumstances.

That's correct.

WDTV LIVE will not connect to network share without a password

I followed "Method 1" from mike27oct post entitledHow to resolve "Network shares" access problems with WDTV media players. The WD Live recognizes the computers but continues to require a username and password.

If you followed Method 1, be sure you adjusted the settings in the WIndows settings, too, be sure Windows is still not requiring a password. Double check all the steps you followed which I provided in the thread.I double checked your instructions and also realized that I had to except the "anonymus" login and the default password. Now I am able to link to the computer on my network. It also shows a list of folders but some of the listed folders are really not on my computer. My movie/video m2ts files are in my video folder.

Can't Save Director file to Network Share (SMB)

Help!
I am running OS X 10.4.10 and I simply cannot "Save" a file
onto our network drive (SMB/CFIS). Written a nice big app that
relies totally on this simple premise.
Help me please!!!

HI Owen,
Perhaps your Quicken preference files are corrupted, it's not bad, and an easy fix. Locate this file or one that is similar: com.quicken.plist It should be here; MacintoshHD/Users/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file, your Mac will create a new one for you.
Also, here's the link to the Quicken forums; http://www.quickencommunity.com/

Losing connection to network shares

I have a 2TB Western Digital NAS which, until recently, has worked with my Mac (2013 Mac Mini, Mavericks 10.9.3, 16gb RAM) without a problem. I keep all the media for iTunes and a Roku 3 (which talks to Plex Server on my Mac) on there. It mounts from the network as /Volumes/Public.
I am currently finding that whenever I leave my Mac for a few hours - say I go to work for example, or go to bed - that when I come back to it, it has dropped the volume. If I open Finder (which, if the drive has disconnected, seems to take anything up to 30 seconds to actually appear), the drive still appears under the Shared section of the sidebar. If I click on the drive the share appears, if I double click on the share it re-establishes no problem. A few hours later it will be gone again.
I've tried re-setting all network settings and created a "Home" location instead of using Automatic but this doesn't seem to have helped. I don't have any settings to allow the computer to sleep - my monitors go off but the computer stays awake. It also doesn't matter whether I connect to the drive through AFP or SMB - same problem. I'm actually wondering if my Mac is dropping off the network altogether and losing the NAS is just the most visible symptom - but surely it should automatically reconnect if this happens?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Smb network shares from W7 PC stop working after a few hours

I have a W7 pc sharing storage on my network.
when connecting when first starting my macbook, it connects fine, but after a few hours it drops out, and i am unable to connect to it unless i restart my macbook.
I have been using "connect to server" to connect my network shares, and when i try to reconnect them using this, it just keeps trying to connect, and wont ever connect even after leaving it to try for over 4 hours (connecting when first starting is fine, taking less than a minute).
sounds similar to a problem with the 10.6 server, where smb crashes.
is there a way to restart smb service on the macbook, or even fix it, so that it doesnt have to always be reconnected?

That's normal. Connections to non-server Windows machines will drop after a period of non-use.
and i am unable to connect to it unless i restart my macbook.
That's not normal. You should be able to reconnect at will.

There's a network connectivity problem. That is not how things are supposed to work.

Okay, you definitely have a network connectivity problem. OS X Server is not supposed to behave that way. What kind of network infrastructure do you have? What make/model routers, switches, hubs, whatever? WIred/wireless? What class cabling or if wireless, what class wireless?
is there a way to restart smb service on the macbook, or even fix it, so that it doesnt have to always be reconnected?
Yes. Usually you just disconnect and reconnect at will.

Network Shares no longer work well in iTunes 5

One really cool and probably unnoticed feature of iTunes was it's ability to easily play music over network shares, and with the Keychain, connecting to the shares and playing the music was almost transparent. iPods would download the music off the network share.
Unfortunately now those features have entirely disappeared. First it was the automatic connect to network share when you clicked on a song that was on a share. Now it won't even go to the next song in the playlist, you have to click on each individual song which really blows big.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has my music on a network share at home to use throughout the house. I really hope Apple will fix this feature because it was one of the coolest features of iTunes IMO.

yes i have tried recreating them in Tiger and they don't work reliably. they work as often as the Panther-created shortcuts work - once in a while.
at the least everyone is learning how to navigate the network, but there are only so many users that can do this without losing their minds.....

Mounting a network share via Applescript or Automator causes errors in MS Office apps

If I connect a network share using an automated process, either using Applescript or Automator, though the share shows up on the Desktop and I can open it and view the various folders and files, MS Office apps including Powerpoint, Excel and Word are unable to open the files. Each gives a slightly different error message. In Excel, it looks like this:
In Word, it's:
In Powerpoint, it's:
BUT, if I connect to the server share manually (using Cmnd-K in Finder), all files and folders are properly accessible. I cannot see any differences between the shares connected by the two different means on the Desktop. They have the same name, are the same size, etc.; in short, everything about them seems identical. I even took screen shots of the Get Info page from one of them connected by the different methods:
"home" connected by Automator:
and connected manually:
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening or how to fix it?

I had the same issue. After upgrading kernel to 3.4.5 today the cifs share mounted with original fstab settings. I believe it was caused by this bug:
kernel changelog wrote: The double delimiter check that allows a comma in the password parsing code is
unconditional. We set "tmp_end" to the end of the string and we continue to
check for double delimiter. In the case where the password doesn't contain a
comma we end up setting tmp_end to NULL and eventually setting "options" to
"end". This results in the premature termination of the options string and hence
the values of UNCip and UNC are being set to NULL. This results in mount failure
with "Connecting to DFS root not implemented yet" error.

IPAD/Network Shares/Active Directory Domain

Can an IPAD connect to Network Shares within an Server 2003 Active Directory Domain? If so how?

The iPad cannot natively connect to file shares. There are third-party apps that allow this, though. FileBrowser is one that is often recommended:

though there are others.

Systemd 215-4 breaks automount shares

Hi,
I use systemd automount feature to mount samba shares at boot with the following entry in /etc/fstab :
//nas/partage /home/hubert/nas cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,credentials=/home/hubert/.smbcredentials 0 0
This worked fine until I upgraded to systemd-215-4.
Now, automount fails with the following error :
systemd[1]: home-hubert-nas.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=32
Downgrading to systemd 214-2 solves the mount problem, but on shutdown, a 90s timeout occurs on unmounting with the following message : "A stop job is running for /home/hubert/nas
Any idea ?

After some digging, I answer to myself :
The "mount" issue has been declared on bugzilla bug #81529 and a workaround is also described by the author (thanks)
The "unmount" issue occurs only for network shares and Wifi network connection (unmounting network share is ok on wired connection)

Can't connect Windows 7/XP to Lion network shares.

Just updated my primary system to Lion, and can't get any of my Windows clients to authenticate to the network shares. I can connect Lion to Lion (AFP), Lion to Windows 7/XP (SMB), but not Windows 7/XP to Lion (SMB). Everything was working fine under Snow Leopard, and I have tried everything I can think of to get it working. Windows sees the Lion system, just doesn't authenticate the user account when I try to connect using either machine name or ip address.

That's dumb, there is already a registry DWORD named LmCompatability level with a value of 1! I get this all the time... none of you, and I mean none of you really knows why Win 7 cannot connect to Win server 2000! It could be patches, updates,
or maybe one day it just decides to work! It's just like the other posts on how to set up VPN... ha! They leave out the most important part... you have to call your ISP and get a static IP address issued! For example, you have to call
Charter or Comcast and get a static IP. They go through all the nice stuff in the server side and show how to set up VPN but they never start out with, "First of all you need to get a static IP address otherwise it won't work, or you also should get
a VPN router with firewall or you system will be wide open.... and etc....."
I was fighting with my win7 to connect to my server 2003, and you know what? I don't even know what I did! It just started to connect after I loaded a bunch of updates! ... and after I find out that also have to sign with the Admin password
NOT just make up a name in Active Directory and try signing in with that one...doesn't work.... have to sign in with the Admin password...
Anyone who has ever tried to sign in with Win 7 to an older server should know this stuff! Most of you sound like you never even tried to connect win 7 to a server, but your taking a crack at answering the post in this thread anyways...! #fail!
Some of you people either are lousy teachers or you don't know, but you have the urge to give out erroneous info!! What are you, 16? 8?

[Solved]Cannot connect to Windows Share printer over network.

I'm having trouble connecting to a windows printer via Samba/CUPS.
I've loaded the lp module, but I don't know if I need to load the USB or Parallel ports modules, or both or neither, since this is a network print.
My organization has provided some basic instructions for Mac users. Working off of those, I have a setup with the device URI reading
DeviceURI smb://ksong8:(password)@ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal?waitjob=false
For some reason, the printer reports that it cannot connect to the CIFS share, even though it should be configured correctly.
Even more curiously, I'm able to connect to the share manually with
smbclient //ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal -U ksong8
and then entering my password.
Am I missing something terribly obvious here? I have a sample of logs in debug mode, but they looked okay to me (as well as very verbose), so I won't put them here. I have attached my /etc/cups/printers.conf.

Solved.
As it turns out, either CUPS or Samba does not like having special characters in the password inside of /etc/cups/printers.conf. They should be replaced with "%" and the appropriate ASCII hex code for the symbol.
