Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade

Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks and can no longer connect to our SMB file share on the network. Several of us have tried connecting to it on this machine and all we get is


There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx.domain.com".

You do not have permission to access this server.


Anyone else having this problem?

OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Since the move to Mavericks if I connect to shares on a Windows 7 system using my Mac, those shares are no longer accessible by systems such as a WDTV. Only rebooting the Win7 machine fixes this.


However, using the CIFS work-around, thereby using the older SMB1 approach, this issue does not occur.


Similar issue with Synology NAS - turns out it was a bug in Synology which was fixed with an update. Have you reported the bug to Microsoft and Apple?

Based on that, looking forward to the release of 10.9.1 to see if they've fixed the issue.


To AlienCamel, no, I've not personally lopgged the issue, but have come across other sites and posts of actual Apple developers who state they have. My issue isn't as serious as others who cannot connect at all. My issue is that once I connect with my Mavericks machine, I've killed many other devices from connecting to them. Issue did not exist in previous OS X that used SMBx.


It's been reported by a few in the tech media & tech people too:

Hi,


i have 2 macs and 2 pcs sharing a NAS D-Llink DNS 320 that was working properly before updating on Maverick as everyone here, and of course now it's not working anymore on both of the macs!


I tried to connect as CIFS but no result! In fact we're able to get connected, open and read any file on the NAS but all the rights to write seems to have been deleted!

I can't rewrite or delete the files on the NAS from the Finder, even connecting with the good users ID, and still can do it from PCs.


On the NAS, by checking the file informations, the recorded users aren't shown.


I ve been calling Apple & D-Link but no answer or solution. I also tried to check the "User authentification methods list" as explained here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700?viewlocale=en_US

and get no list!


Well i hope anybody here can help, cause Apple doesn't think they get to correct the problem soon...

Thx.

I also had problems to connect with my Synology nas with smb2. You still could force tho old smb protocoll by connecting with cifs. In the mean time, Synology fixed the problem on their side.


But, since the upgrade to Marvericks 10.9.1, I can not connect to that mac over smb or smb2. I still can connect to the nas though. The problem is that my passwordt is no longer accepted when logging in with sbm or smb2. (my password still works with afp, so its no password problem)


smb is now the default between two Marvericks macs, so logging in to my other mac with bounjour, it tries to make the connection with smb and fails.


Anyone having similar experiences?
