Q: I lost access to my NAS share drive since EL Capitan

Hello all,

 

Since the migration to EL Capitan on my MacBook Pro, I lost the direct access to my NAS Drive under Finder/Shared. My NAS is a Dlink DNS 320 and it is using a standard NETATALK plugin. I have another mac mini with the old Yosemite OS and it is still being able to see my NAS.

 

When trying to access my DNS320 under my EL Capitan system, because the link is still there under Finder/Shared!, I get two pop-up messages :

 

"There was a problem connecting to the server "dns325". The server may not exist of it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or ip adress, check your network connection, and then try again."

and

"There was a problem connecting to the server "dns325". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator".

 

I was able to mount some folders by "connecting to server" function under Finder->Go, and using the URL "afp://dns325._afpovertcp._tcp.local". But it doesn't explain to me why the Finder doesn't see anymore, automatically, my NAS.

 

It seems to be a bug brought by EL Capitan.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

    I've been experiencing these headaches since Yosemite.


    The quickest method that i've discovered to resolve this is to simply unplug/replug the ethernet cable. (or disable/enable wifi connection if you're connected via wifi.)
    This resets the connection and relinks the NAS devices as it should.

     

    CMD+K and typing the IP manually also works.
    Restarting the computer also works.
    Restarting the NAS devices also works.

     

    Pretty much any method that Unlinks and Re-links the NAS devices to your MAC.

     

    I've done tons of research and there are many people that are experiencing these issues.
    On reddit some place someone explained to me that Apple changed the way they handled some network related connections in Yosemite and it hasn't been the same since.

     

    I've also found that if you leave the connection open it doesn't seem to go offline.


    I've also been having issues accessing my other Macs from the same "shared" section (file sharing/screen sharing etc).
    I'm almost certain that they're related.

     

     

     

     

     

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you very much for finding a solution for one user, but i need a fix for more than one. Current system is a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with netatalk and avahi. Is there a solution for more than one user?

     

    Cheers

    Alex

    Simply. After you enter the url, a dialog window appears and you can choose to connect as a guest or type a user name and password.

    I am having a similar issue.  I just upgraded my Mac Mini to El Capitan from Yosemite and now I can no longer see my networked drives that are connected to the server and shared via File Sharing.  Never had any issues with this in Yosemite.  This is not good

    I have a Sinology NAS and like many others here, after the El Capitan update seemed to have no other whey then CMD-K getting into my NAS' shares. However, it seems that my mac just simply needed a WINS reset, perhaps yours is fixed with this also. Try this:

    1. Open system prefs

    2. Select Network

    3. Press Advanced (button in right corner)

    4. Select WINS tab

    5. Select a Workgroup.   My mac shows 'homegroup' as well as 'workgroup' selecting either one seemed fine

    6. Click OK

    7. Click Apply and dismiss dialog

     

    Now select your NAS icon in Finder and it should show you all the shares on that NAS.

    I'm actually trying to install a new Buffalo LinkStation NAS, but judging by the previous posts, creating a home network with El Capitan is **** near impossible. I'm really ******, not only because I've tried everything in the previous posts with no success, but because I can't help but think that Apple is making things difficult so as to become so proprietary, that using other brands will no be an option.  My fingers are crossed that this is a legit bug and not some crazy conspiracy.  So far I've tried the Nav 2 software included with the NAS, the workgroup thing, the sub net thing, killing the finder, using cifs protocol when connecting via the IP, and everything _sub suggested even though I knew it wouldn't work.  The NAS sometimes appears in the Shared section, but it has never connected. Any other suggestions?
