Connecting to NAS via SMB returns "Connection Failed"

Ok so I always used to be able to connect to my Network Drive no problem. But I was away over Easter and ever since my return I am unable to connect to the drive via SMB. I know there's nothing wrong with the drive as all my PC's on the network can connect to it and I can FTP to it from my mac.

When I try to connect from: Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://192.168.2.6/ I get a popup asking which drives I want to mount but when I click Ok I just get the:

Connection failed

There was an error connecting to the server '192.168.2.6". Check the server name or IP address and then try again.

If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I have similar problems; I too can't connect to my NAS anymore. I get a "no permision error"

But when I type: smb://username:password192.168.1.40/folder it works, but I have to do that every time.

The passwords are not stored anymore. Also I can't use my NAS as a TimeMachine drive anymore.

I never managed to get it working like it was, could still FTP which was alright for a bit. The drive got filled up anyway so moved up to a WHS box, which seems to be working ok. Now just gotta get Time Machine working with it
