Can't connect via SMB

This solution worked for me as well. I have a Netgear WNDR3700 with a Seagate 3TB hard drive connected to readyshare. I could not get this to connect using the GUI. I'm able to access it by mounting it using the terminal command as you indicated.

The share name in the router is "goflex"

I used the folloiwng command since i did not specify a username or password for the readyshare in the router.

I used "mkdir ~/Desktop/GOFLEX"

"mount -t smbfs //guest@readyshare/goflex ~/Desktop/GOFLEX"

Password was not required.

Reading the Windows comp to the domain - This worked for me:

I am using AD for authentication the os x server

I was able to connect using AD creds via AFP on my Mac + smb on the Mac but not from a Windows machine.

Removed then readied windows computers to the domain (2 restarts but it works!)

I found a solution for Lion to Windows XP Pro. See what I did here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3197723?answerId=17193040022#17193040022

there's no need to create a new user account

The same for me. No SMB connections to 2 Windows 7 PC's. Only and old Win XP PC is connected via SMB.

But it takes 8 Minutes before my new Lion detects the XP PC.

Help would be really apriciated...

Same for me. This is not good. I really need to connect to my office network drives.

Hi there,

Can I ask if you have tried an unbound Lion machine connecting to these shares?

I heard that Lion only supports SMBX - whatever it is...

I also can't connect to my samba fileserver with an avahi broadcasted SMB service.

But my Samba broadcasts itself, and that way works here.

I`m having the same problem at my office!

I`m the only one using MacOSX and the rest network are windows based, i just cant print and acess files on teh server!

I would apreciate any help!

Does anyone tried to connect NAS using the smbutil shell utility?

I am having the same issue, but just like in Snow Leopard I AM able to connect if I use the IP address. I just hit Apple+K and enter smb://192.168.1.102.

Thanks jan78, that solved my problem.

Where would you make these changes? On the Windows or OSX machine? Would this still allow me to use a static IP address?

This is crazy...I have the same issue and still no update yet!

please help me out here..where do you change this setting Jan78??? on my MBP? where?

One possible fix for you...

I fixed my SMB share problem by connecting to the actual IP address rather than the GUI. Something to give a try.
