Mac Cannot Connect To Smb Share
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2012 2:18 pm Hey All,Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and i've been running into a problem that's making me tear what little hair i have out of my head. Basically, after upgrading i've been unable to make any SMB connections to any of my Windows boxen at home. Prior to the update there was no problem doing this.My home network is pretty simple. No domains, and just 3 PCs connected osx smb does not work to a router by wifi and ethernet. I've tried having the mac on wifi and ethernet and have been unsuccessful connecting with either. I've tried all sorts of different combinations in Finder "connect to server" to get this to work. including:smb://computernamesmb://computername/sharesmb://user@computernamesmb://user@computername/sharesmb://ipaddresssmb://ipaddress/sharesmb://user@ipaddresssmb://user@ipaddress/shareNone of these work, and i get error messages like:"there was a problem connecting to ... check the server name"Now, the Mac *is* able to ping these Windows boxes. So it can see them. It just seems like SMB is really not happy for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas? Are there ways to troubleshoot what's going on and get more usable information about what the problem is?Thanks!

I don't know what the heck happened other than possibly a restart of the machines involved. One day it worked, one day it didn't, then it fixed itself several days later. irfoton Ars Praefectus Registered: May 25, 2002Posts: 3841 Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2012 6:08 pm There used to be a smbutil command you could use from the terminal. It had options that could help identify if it was the Finder or something more basic. ChrisB Ars Tribunus Militum et Sub
laptops, but prefer to build my own Windows PCs when it comes to desktops. As a web developer, I can run all of my web servers and host my code within the Linux-y there was a problem connecting to the server check the server name or ip address environment of OS X, and I can use my Windows PC to access and mac connect to smb with username and password edit my code over the network. This is possible because OS X supports SMB sharing, which is compatible with Windows networks. At smb el capitan least in theory. In reality, starting with OS X 10.7 (Lion) this became very problematic. Apple used to bundle Samba with earlier versions of OS X to enable SMB sharing. Then one day the Samba project http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1179519 switched to a more restrictive GPLv3 license, and Apple could no longer include it without open-sourcing their proprietary code. This left Apple with the ugly task of rolling their own SMB service, and since that’s mainly used for Windows sharing, they didn’t give a shit about it and did a horrible job. As a result, some serious problems started happening in OS X 10.7+ when using Windows networking. What are the problems with http://blog.rubbingalcoholic.com/post/39412902216/fix-smb-windows-sharing-permissions-issue-in-os-x Apple’s shitty SMB? Starting with OS X 10.7, you may have noticed the following bugs when using SMB: Intermittent errors when saving files Intermittent data corruption around the ends of files (seems fixed in 10.8) No inherited group permission on files created over SMB This last issue is the most frustrating. Because my web server software runs under a different user account, it requires group access to my files in order for them to actually work. Even though the folders have the correct group permissions, Apple’s SMB service isn’t inheriting them properly and new files are created with owner access only. This meant that any time I would create a file over the network from Windows, I would have to change the permissions on it manually on the OS X machine via SSH. Very tedious. What are the possible fixes? Use only Apple computers on your network. or install the SMBUp app by Eduo, which replaces Apple’s SMB implementation with the real Samba and provides a graphical frontend to manage it. or disable Apple’s SMB and manually install Samba yourself. Option 1 is stupid. Option 2 is tempting, until you download SMBUp and see what it wants to do. SMBUp wants to completely own the process of installing and configuring Samba on your machine, which involves download

I have a Raspberry Pi running an SMB server that shows up in the sidebar of the Finder. I usually can just click on it and connect. Just today, it stopped working and gives connect to smb me the error "Connection Failed". It has worked fine in the past. I'm running OS 10.8.4 on a Mac Pro. Our MBP (also 10.8.4) connects just fine, no problems.

And that works on both our MBP (10.8.4) and our other MB (10.6.8), just not on the Mac Pro –daviesgeek Sep 11 '13 at 16:34 1 Apple's man page for kextload says "For most kexts, kextload must run as the superuser (root). Kexts installed under /System/ with an OSBundleAllowUserLoad property set to true may be loaded via kextload by non-root users." So I'm wondering if that property has somehow been changed on your Mac Pro. On my 10.8.4 system, cat /System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext/Contents/Info.plist
