Windows XP can't connect to the SMB service of the OS X 10.5.6

Hello,
I can't connect a XP to the SMB server OS X. The XP could see the other pc's in the network and when I share a folder I could access it from the mac enviroment. The 2 vista machines could access also without any problem. Only the XP is a problem...
http://files.image4you.tv/Clients//wimvanroy/Afbeelding%203.png
SMB server: Standalone Server
Workgroup: image4you
Access: NTLMv2&Kerberos
Guest is off (when on I could connect..)
Advanced:
Latin US 437
workgroup master browser selected (horizontal dash)
Homes: enabled
WINS off

I'm so mad I could spit. I've had similar problems for a year and a half, and have periodically gone back to beat my head on the wall with no effect...UNTIL TODAY! I found this little nugget:
"*After you turn on File Vault, you cannot log in to this user account for SMB file sharing or printer sharing.*"
The message appeared when I clicked Apple:System Preferences:Security:File Vault, then turned on File Vault and entered my password. ONLY THEN did the msg appear.
The reason I was turning on File Vault was that I had just started to use Time Machine on a mac on which I turned on File Vault 2 years ago. In order to use Time Machine I had to turn File Vault off and then back on in order to upgrade it to a newer version, compatible with Time Machine.
This warning does not appear anywhere in OSX Help and it is not in Apple's tech support FAQs. I did find it in the Tech Support section after I knew what I was searching for, but who would know to search for "File Vault AND smb" when their Win XP machine could not connect to the Mac. I sure didn't...
Apple needs to make this issue much more prominent or, even better, FIX IT. I'm sure thousands of users have the same situation as me - a PC at home or work and a portable Mac for every day use, keeping the Mac secured with File Vault. There must be some way to allow a manual login via smb, or something, which would then allow a PC user access to encrypted files on the Mac.
I hope this helps everyone! Someone! Anyone! Buehler!

  • Problem: Project can't connect to WCF RESTful service in the same solution

    I followed the instruction in "Consuming
    a RESTful web service with jQuery and Ajax" on the blog of Dedra L. Welch and created in my solution a WFC Web Application (RestService)
    and a ASP.NET Empty Website (TestClient), but the client website couldn't connect to the service. I'm not sure did the jQuery function even run at all.

    Hi blue_lightning,
    >>but the client website couldn't connect to the service. I'm not sure did the jQuery function even run at all.
    First please try to follow the blog step by step to see if it works.
    Then please try to use the fiddler to help you detect if the service is run or not. Or you can just use a Get method in your web service to test if you can broswer it in the broswer. If you can get the right value with the Get method, then it means
    that your service should run.

  • Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp on W2K12 RDS, but Windows 7 can connect. Why?

    Hi!
    Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp (W2K12 RDS), but Windows 7 can connect. Why?
    External and internal DNS name is different, the public Cert is mapped to RD Web Access and a RD GateWay Role.
    The internal cert (issued by enterprise ca) is mapped to RD Connection Broker roles (SSO and Publishing).
    These certifications also be installed on client computers (Personal and Trusted Root Certification Authorities).
    The internal CA revocation list is publicated to a website and this web site is accessible from internet. Ports (3389,3391,443) forwarded to RDS server.
    On windows 7 everything works fine, but Windows 8 can not connect to Remote Apps. Windows 8 can connect to RDS server via Remote Desktop Connection.
    The error:

  • Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

    As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on.  My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required.  When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password.  The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP.  Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products.  I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

    I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
    Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
    I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
    If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.

  • Can i connect an external signal generator to the NI7344 to...

    Can i connect an external signal generator to the NI7344 to use its
    PID characteristics to precisely control the output
    I am using the flex motion board (NI7344) to control the force output
    of a linear motor. Using contouring and buffer operations i have
    successfully created a system which can output a controlled force
    which sinusoidal in form. I can achieve a reasonable output for
    waveforms of 10Hz, the use of higher frequencies is limited by the
    contouring operation ( a frequency of 10 Hz means i can only describe
    one period of a sine wave with 10 points ( 10ms between each point =
    10Hz). Can i therfore connect an external anologue wave generator to
    the NI7344 use and use its PID characteristics to output wave
    forms of
    higher frequency ??? .....could i output an anolgue wave form from an
    E-series DAQ via the RTSI cable to the NI7344 and control this ???.any
    ideas or advice would be much appreciated.

    Duncan,
    You can use a DAQ card to output an analog waveform, but it will be a software call not part of an onboard program. RTSI can be used to pass clocks and trigger signals, so if you want to route a clock signal to do the control you could.

  • Can i connect thunderbolt duo hard drive to the mini display port of a late 2008 macbook pro which do not have thunderbolt port, but have mini display port.

    hi, i have a late 2008 15 inch macbook pro, which have a mini display port.
    I noticed that thunderbolt and mini display port looks a like. So, my question is :
    can i connect thunderbolt duo hard drive to the mini display port of a late 2008 macbook pro which do not have thunderbolt port, but have mini display port.
    thank you

    ken94538,
    no, you’d need a Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter or Thunderbolt-to-USB adapter to be able to access your Thunderbolt hard drive from your 2008 MacBook Pro.

  • Can ipad4 a1460 connects to the internet services of the 2g cdma mobile networks

    can ipad4 a1460 connects to the internet services of the 2g cdma mobile networks

    I'm not sure whatyou mean by "2G CDMA". The iPad supports CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B and will work with the CDMA carrier for which the iPad is sold. You cannot buy a CDMA iPad intended for a given carrier and use it with another CDMA carrier, if that's what you wish to do.

    Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

    I had the same problem.  I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work.  My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help.  I did that & it solved the problem.  I have not had the problem since.

  • Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN Can not connect to HP Web Services

    I have a Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN  printer on a network running windows 7 and we Can not connect to HP Web Services. When we use the display on the menu it comes back with error "Internal Processing error, try again or check firmware update"  We installed the new firmware but still get the same message. IF type in our printers IP address into our browser we get the info on our printer but if we go to the HP web services tap and click enable it trys but come back with a "connection error"
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Paul

    I just updated my Firmware on this printer today to the latest version dated May 3 2013 and  Web Services
    worked.  Had the same type of problem you had for months and had worked with HP but could never get
    Web Services to work at my location with my Modem/Router. 
    Had tried at other locations and it would work with the old Firmware.  But for some reason it did not at my
    location with the Modem/Router I was using. 
    Again the latest Firmware fixed it.  I tried all the other solutions that I had found on the internet and non of them worked.
