A volume failed to mount (Error code -6602), why?

Dear All,

Actually I have a problem which does not appear before...

I am using a iMac 10.5.8 (update are done) and we are used to mount two external drive following

this syntaxe :

smb://servername1.domain.ch/share

smb://servername2.domain.ch/share

From that iMac I can not the first share, but now I can not mout the second share which is on a NAS.

However I can mount it from another iMac. A colleague also try to mount from my iMac and he could'nt even if you can from his iMac. Then I am sure the problem come from workstation.

I can ping it.

When I am trying to mount it, it asked me form my password, and then it retunr me that error:

"A volume failed to mount, The volume "[name]" could not be mounted"

Then I gopt another window error:

"Sorry, the oeration could not be completed because un unexpected error occurred. (Error code -6602)"

I searched on the web, but I have not found a suitable solution.

I hope you can help me with this matter.

Cheers

What it's interresring to know. I opened a terminal and tried to ping from the troubling workstation.

I go that message:

" bash: ping: command not found "

Surprising that the command ping is not found. May be there is a relation?

Can you ping it using Nework Utility? By Name or IP?

Some possible cures...

Hello,

None of them help. I can not mount it using the IP adress

But now I wundering if all 10.5 may cause the issue. The problem, for now, I have only one 10.5. All other are 10.6 and works. May be it can be due to a credential issue..., I guess but not sure

I am having the exact same problem.

I have 5 networked G5's that are on a Win 7 server. the server has a C and D drive both of which are identically set up. I can connect to C but not D. It is proving to be an unexplicable problem. I cannot find a solution because this is not flagged as a problem. I get the 'failed to mount drive' notification after I enter my name and pass so the Mac can see the drive but not connect to it.

I also have 2 iMac's on Intel chips and they can see and connect to both network drives.

alll Macs are on 10.5.8 updated fully.

Any help would be most appreciated as this is doing my head in.

On the Macs, please try basic generic troubleshooting: Repair the startup drive.

Follow one of these three methods:

On the PC, try disabling then re-enabling the shared drive/Folders/etc

I've been dealing with this and found the answer. So incredibly simple. I tried it and immediately was able to connect.

http://serverfault.com/questions/245295/osx-10-5-leopard-to-failover-clustered-w indows-file-share-error-6602

"10.5 tries to connect using the translated IP. The work-around is to connect directly to a share, adding the NetBIOS port number to the mix like so:

smb://fileserver:139/sharename"
