Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

  • Windows Users can no longer connect to Server

    I have an Xserve configured to share via AFP and windows. It is running Open Directory as an Open Directory master. It is connected to a Windows Network that is worldwide, running in a specific subnet and domain. Recently, all the users I have configured on the machine have been migrated to a new Active directory server for their email accounts. I can connect and authenticate against the open directory using AFP, but can not connect using windows file sharing from a Windows computer, nor can I connect using SMB from a mac. Shouldn't the users be authenticating against the Xserve when trying to connect or is it passing off the authentication to another server? Do I need to move the Xserve to the new domain? (in other words, do I have to change its FQDN? )
    thanks in advance,

    I just had this same problem on my server. The only difference is it is an Xserve insted of a Mac Mini.
    I restarted the whole operating systems and that appeard to have fixed the problem but I do not know what I cause was.
    Did you figure anything out?

  • Users can no longer connect to servers via their IP addresses.

    1) Up until March users could connect to two file servers (10.4 and 10.6) by IP address.
    2) Now, only computers that are not managed by Casper can connect.  All the Windows machines and a couple of Macs (not managed) can connect to these Servers.  One of the Macs is filtered by iBoss, but mine bypasses the filter.  We can both connect.
    3) On the day this happened, I updated the iBoss firmware and sent out the script below which should not be related.  The commonality seems to have something to do with computers managed by Casper (JAMF).
    4) Any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -configure -allowAccessFor -specifiedUsers 
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -configure -users ladmin -access -on -privs -all

    Check your firewall logs find out if it's at your end that's blocking access
    Log into one of the blocked machines with your login that's not blocked to find out if it's a user level or machine block
    Read the iboss firmware release notes
    See if there is any changes that effect your current setup
    Check firewall rules make sure the effected machines, vlans etc have access to the servers
    See if Casper still access the effected machines

  • After upgrade to 10.7.1 users can no longer connect to shares

    Ok , im not an admin to start off, but after upgrading the OSX lion server to 10.7.1 i can no longer connect to the sharepoints on my mac mini server.
    Through SMB or AFP .. i tried using the connect to server on one of my clients and when i attempt to log in , it shakes the login window as if my password were not accepted.
    Heres where it gets a little confusing to me, i have 2 mac mini servers both running OSX LION SERVER 10.7.1 .... The one that I CAN NOT LOG INTO is my OD Master... the second one is just used for file sharing...
    WHEN i attempt to login into the file share server (which is connected to the OD Master which is rejecting my user logins) i can connect JUST FINE and access the sharepoiints on that server...
    A couple more weird things... on the OD MASTER (again the server which is rejecting all user logins) I CAN login with my admin credentials and access the sharepoints... ??
    -- when i am locally logged into the OD MASTER server, if i add a new sharepoint from scratch and edit the ACL , NONE OF MY USERS SHOW UP nor any of my user groups... it only allows me to add the Administrator access to that share..
    Have i done something very wrong somehwere? this server that is having a problem is only used as a OD master and File share nothing else..
    I did not change any settings besides add a new mac mini server to the OD and performa the 10.7.1 upgrade.
    ANY HELP WOULD BE HUGE as i have spent a 12 hours trying to figure this out before i resort to a re install.

    I've only one hint to you, cause I've mot on Mac-Server.
    With 10.7 Apple have switched from Samba (maybe due to licence problems with GPL based stuff) to a own protocol called "XSMB"
    This had caused problems with some NAS systems too.
    Eventually someone have a glue to solve that, as several users have problems with SMB shares since that.

  • IMac Can No Longer See MBP for File Sharing

    Hello all,
    I have had my iMac and MBP set up for ages to see one another and share files. Worked like a charm. Now, all of a sudden, the iMac can no longer see the MBP - but - the MBP CAN see the iMac and connect. Odd??
    To my knowledge, nothing has been changed on my end. File Sharing is on. Firewall is off. Both units have the latest updates from Apple and the AEBS has the latest firmware and is working pefectly.
    What can I do to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks,
    Stu

    Thanks for the help!
    Well, when I rebooted the MBP, it magically appeared on the iMac..so I thought all was well. However, I am now suspicious of the iMac as the culprit.
    For example, I have a USB Disk connected to the AEBS - and the iMac is connected to it right now, showing the ddisk icon on the desktop. I can browse the contents.
    However, when clicking on Network in the Finder, the AEBS does not appear at all! Even though I am connected to the disk. Why would this be?
    I am not against trying your idea - but this new information might point us in another direction?

  • Network User appearing twice in connection tab under file sharing

    I have one of my network users that appears twice under the connected Users tab in the File Sharing service (Lion Server).
    It only appears to be happening with one of the users.  When they log in they get shown twice with the same IP address although they can have different idle time.
    I can not seem to work out what is going on.
    Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

    After a little bit of mucking around I have discovered the duplicate user appears when I mount a network volume (which is also a share) during login using a "mount drive" script.  I can disconnect the duplicate user which unmounts the network volume.
    Same thing happens when I connect to the server machine through the SHARED listing in Finder as it is set up to use my network account to connect.  ONce again I can disconnect which simply umounts the shared access.

  • Windows 7 Users Can No Longer Connect to Shared Xserve Drive

    We've had multiple computers (both PCs and Macs) setup to use a shared Xserve. All the sudden today the mapped network drives stopped working. I've tried using the "Map network drive" option on Windows 7 to add them manually again, but every time I enter the username/password it says it is not correct. I'm mapping the drive to Z and the folder to '\\10.10.10.77\shared' which is the Ethernet 1 of the Server followed by folder name on the Xserve that worked before. I'm confused what username and password it wants here because I've even reset the Xserve passwords and they still don't work and it says underneath that the Domain underneath is the name of the current PC user...
    What's going on here? Am I using the correct Folder format and with the correct username and password? This is driving me crazy!

    After hours and hours of constant searching and testing I still can't get it to work?
    Any ideas?
    I think sharing has changed in Mavericks.

  • WIndows user can no longer log in.

    Ok, here’s where I’m stuck. We no longer have our server (Running OSX Server 10.4.3), which serves as the Open Directory Master and the PDC for our Windows boxes( all running XP SP2), running DHCP services. We instead installed a Linksys RV016 router about 6 days ago and changed the servers static LAN IP to ‘.253’ instead of ‘.254’. After toying with the settings, we got everything working correctly. Our Mac and Windows boxes both could log in to their respective accounts. However, starting today, every time I try to long on to a windows machine I get an error message saying”Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile…… Detail – The format of the specified network name is invalid.
    The thing is, we have an almost identical setup at another office not 1 block away, the only difference being that there is no external router and the server on that network is also the DHCP server. I have been poking around and trying to make a few tweaks that last 2 days, but as far as I know, I haven’t made any changes that would affect the Windows services. Also, the User Profile Paths have stayed the same. I have also noticed that I am getting a weird message in the “Windows File Service Log” saying:
    [2005/12/14 15:49:34, 0] pdbods.c:make_amod(2043)
    makeamod: INVALID VALUE!!!
    [2005/12/14 15:49:34, 0] /SourceCache/samba/samba-92.13/samba/source/rpcserver/srv_util.c:get_alias_usergroups(206)
    getalias_usergroups: gid of user marketpc doesn't exist. Check your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
    I figured that this has something to do with it, but I haven’t changed any of the group settings.
    Please help me as I’m completely stumped and have no clue what to do.

    Ok. I fixed it, long story short, the directory in which the user profiles were shared from became corrupted some how. By deleting the user profile in WGM and creating their home folder in a new share point, they can log in no problem. The fun part now is to figure out how this happened.

  • AD accounts can no longer connect to Lion AFP File Shares

    I am running into an issue where AD users can no longer connect to AFP file shares. If you attempt to authenticate with one of our Lion server's local accounts, you connect without any issues, but if you put network credentials in then you get the window shake denial. This issue just came up this morning. I attempted unbinding and rebinding the machine, updating from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3, removing and re-adding share point permissions, turning file sharing off then on, and still no network account authentication.
    Anyone have any advice for how to get network credential authentication to AFP filesharing working again?

    You could enable the AFP server access log:
    sudo serveradmin settings afp:activityLog=yes
    and then look at log at /Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceAccess.log
    to see if that offers any clues.

  • Can no longer connect to Windows XP Home Network

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks and just noticed I can not longer connect to my Windows XP Home Network. Besides sharing files I also print through that network, but it's not just the printer that's afftected. In "Finder" I see the Home>Office Folder but I can't connect to it. I deleted the printer and tried to re-add it but I get a message saying that the server my not exist or is unavailable.
    It's been a long time since I set this all up so I don't even know where to look and/or begin.
    TIA

    There is a problem with connecting to a shared printer on Windows XP from Mavericks. But you should still be able to connect to a shared folder, although my testing was with Windows XP Pro, not Home. One thing you do have to ensure is that the Windows user account has a password. You cannot connect to a shared folder on WinXP if the Windows account has no password.

  • Help! My Sony Ericsson T715A can no longer connect to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode...

    Sony Ericsson T715A: I can no longer connect in to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode; so I can no longer sync contax, calendar, tasks etc. with MS Office Outlook. Also cannot back up phone, or
    update software. Can only drag files out into Explorer folders. When I connect the phone, it has to be on. Instead of going right to phone/PC mode, I get a message on it saying "Phone functions are
    not available in File Manager mode. Continue?" I say yes, whereupon the phone seems to restart, & then the Microsoft Autoplay folder comes up, or else I can find it in "devices and printers." R-
    click the icon, "properties" Identifies it only as a generic Microsoft device. I tried running the computer troubleshooter on it, which came up w/nothing.
        After some period of time I will notice that the phone either rings and I can answer it, or it has stopped recharging, and the icon has disappeared from the PC.
        I had the 2007 version of PC Suite and PC Companion, and when I tried to install it on my 2010 PC w/ Windows 7 it said not compatible. I downloaded an update for that software from the SE site, but it didn't help. Then I ran the compatibility wizard in Windows 7 for PC Suite. Still no luck. I got a tip from an SE forum to uninstall all that software and download a certain package and start fresh. I am about to try that.
        Here is my question:
    ALL T HIS TIME I have still been using the OLD SIM card from my SE ZZ710i in the newer phone. I figured it works; why not preserve the newer one from wear & tear as long as poss.
    Now, it has been a while since I synched or backed up my phone. I hate to lose everything on it/the SIM card. If I install a whole new version of SE PC Suite, is it going to somehow overwrite or not work at all with my
    old SIM card? Must I insert the NEW SIM 1st, & sacrifice whatever data is on the old one, before trying the new desktop software and updateing the phone?
    As for updating the phone, which I realize wipes out data, it might be necessary.. I noticed in some Event log or other that some SE-related working file called EMMA was deleted recently, I don't know why. Anyone know anything about that?
      Phew. The End. Here's hoping.

    Dr Chris:
    Thanx for answering my Q of a month ago. As you can see from my post of 18 minutes ago, things have gone from bad to worse under my neglectful eye.
    To answer your answer:
    a. I WAS using a NEW USB cord when I posed the question.
    b. I've now downloaded the update service. I can try updating the phone from its File manager state. I'm just afraid whatever data is on it will get wiped, no?
    Point of order:
    If I've had an answer - or more than 1- to my question, but I still need to discuss it- should I Check the "Yes my question has been answered" box? I did not, here, because I thought it might result in my further questions dropping off the radar for forum experts. Please advise... \\Butter F

  • I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer.  I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

    I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB.  I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get.  Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain.  Should I cancel my icloud account?

    I appreciate your help.
    Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing.  I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval".  Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there.  But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
    Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
    Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.

  • MacBookPro - Suddenly can't connect to Cisco WAP while Windows Users Can

    Hi,
    My partner and I, both consulants, use MBP's. At one of our client's sites, our MBP's suddenly stopped being able to connect to the wireless network there. We believe this started happening shortly after installing a regular security update last February.
    The odd thing is, we can go to another building where there is another access point, same make and model, same SSID, which we can connect to with no problem.
    Meanwhile, since we are the only Mac users, and are mere consultants, the local IT guys don't bother to check it out.
    We get the "There was an error joining the Airport network "<network name>" error message. We have double checked and know we have the right WEP keys. I don't remember off hand the strength of the WEP, but it's pretty simple and straight forward, and must be the same as the other WAP since all the Windows users can go between locations without having to reconfigure.
    I've been to the genius bar, and they haven't seen any reference to this any where in the KB or on any of the forums.
    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    -ktb

    My partner called Apple Support today after downloading a security update he hoped would address the problem (but to no avail). He managed to reach someone who knew something about the problem.
    The support staffer indicated that there was a known issue connecting with some Linksys WAPs (and since Cisco now owns Linksys, they are probably using the same chip sets in some products). Even though the staffer acknowledged that the problem was caused by a security update, and thus was a software problem (confirmed by the fact that we can connect when we boot windows in Boot Camp and are able to connect), they said there was nothing they could do - not even offer a way to downrev our airport firmware.
    This is the kind of support I expect from the Evil Empire in Redmond, not Steve and company. Feh - success breeds contempt.

  • Can no longer connect to SMB server after upgrading to Lion

    We have a MacBook Pro that was running 10.6.8. The user upgraded to Lion, and can no longer connect to a Windows 2008 file server. (We have two offices connected through a hardware tunnel, but i do not think this is the issue.)
    We have tried to connect in the Finder (smb://[email protected]/). It asks for usr / pass, and then just hangs on "Connecting to server"
    We can ping, have tested these credentials on other computers, and tried other credentials on this computer, to no avail. Furthermore, we installed a fresh copy of Lion on another computer, and successfully connected, so I don't think the issue is with Lion itself.
    There must be something from the previous install that did not "upgrade" properly, but I don't know which file / setting it could be. It is system-wide setting, as we have also tried another user account on this same Mac.
    We've also run Onyx to fix permissions, clean out all caches, etc.
    Any idea what file i can change, modify, or delete?
    Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Can no longer connect my MBP to a local file server

    I can no longer connect to a particular computer on my local network from my MBP(Mid 2010 running 10.6.6). I am trying to connect to a Mac G4 tower running 10.4.11. This has worked in the past but now does not.
    An older MBP(Mid 2007 running 10.6.6) has no problem connecting to the G4. My Mid 2010 MBP can connect to the older MBP. The Mid 2010 MBP can also connect via smb to a PC on my local network. All of my systems can connect as clients to the Mid 2010 MBP.
    The G4 does show up in the Mid 2010 Finder window sidebar under Shared. I can ping the G4 from the Mid 2010. I can even ssh into the G4 using the CLI from the Mid 2010. When I try to connect to the G4, either via the Shared Icon in the sidebar or via Cmd-K, I instantly get a "Connection failed" message. I have, via afp, tried both the server name and the IP, both of which work fine on the older MBP. No effect. I ran full Applejack on my Mid 2010. No effect. I reapplied the 10.6.6 Combo Updater. No effect. I deleted all references to the G4 in my keychain, but the "Connection failed"  message comes before any attempt at authentication. Grasping that straw had no effect. I do have Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner but hesitate to nuke all my caches before trying something else. Ideas anyone? Thanks.

    I forgot to add: I also tried a different user account on the Mid 2010 MBP to connect to the G4. No effect.
