Mac Smb There Was A Problem Connecting To The Server
I have "smb://PathToFiles" . Is smb:// the correct prefix to use now that Lion is funky with SMB support?I'm sorry...I really don't know much about SMB connections, what kind of server it is that I'm trying to connect to, or much else. I know mac cannot connect to smb share we run Windows Exchange, but I'm not sure if that's the server that hosts these shared drives...I just need to connect to get back to work. Any help would be AWESOME. Posted on Jul 21, 2011 1:55 PM I have this question too by upeace,Solvedanswer upeace Level 1 (0 points) A: I (or I should say, my IT guy) finally fixed my problem! I outline the solution in as much detail as I can on my blog: http://fatwalr.us/2011/08/solution-to-my-smb-connection-problem-in-lion/ . Basically, all I need to do is go into my Terminal connect to mac smb share from windows 7 and manually mount the drive. I have no idea why this works though Terminal and not through the Connect to Server panel, but it does. Since it's so simple, I'm expecting a Software Update from Apple soon to fix the problem for good.I hope this helps any of you who are in the same position as I have been (frustrated out of your mind).

Join Now Hi https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196311?start=60 all, A customer wished to mount a Windows 2008 smb share on his old MacOS 10.4.11. I told him to use Finder --> Go--> "Connect to Server" -> "SMB://ServerName/Share" but it failed even when he tried to do it with the ip address instead of the ServerName. Everything is Ok on the server side, but on the mac, OSx substitutes "AFP://SMB://ServerName/Share" for "SMB://ServerName/Share". Any ideas ?

Here what I get when trying to mount it manually: mount -t smbfs //10.0.0.7/d /tmp/test When doing sniffing with tshark - no packet it sent through and I get immediately return from the command: mount_smbfs: server connection failed: Unknown error: -1 Nothing in /var/log/syslog.log and /var/log/kern.log. The Finder does not work either - it throws an error that something is wrong (in czech thus I'm not sending the message here). I just cannot connect to any network shares. In virtual Windows 7 in Parallels Desktop I can connect successfully, but not within the network share (so the Win7 is behind OS X NAT) but only with its own IP address. The Windows server share is on the same network segment connected through switch. Any advice how to debug and what can be wrong? I spent hours to find solution on Google and here but no-one with this kind of problem and I do not know how to further debug it since there is no meaningful log / trace etc. I can ping 10.0.0.7 and I can connect to FTP server on 10.0.0.7 - the Windows machine (XP) has firewall completely turned off. The problem is that with tshark, I'm not seeing any packet sending to 10.0.0.7 so it's not even trying to reach the server. windows osx networking osx-lion share|improve this question edited Nov 8 '13 at 15:50 grgarside 7951517 asked Nov 7 '13 at 13:45 user2169619 62 Did you just recently update OSX?
