MACOS Mojave-SMB issues

After upgrading to Mojave I can no longer connect to my NAS which i used to connect via smb://192.168.1.25/share

When I try to connect the dialog box just sits and and just says connecting. I tried cifs://192.168.1.25/share and that doesnt work either.

Any help would be appreciated.

My situation was I am sharing via SMB two Shares from a Mac running El Capitan

I was running this and connecting without an issue using a Mac Running High Sierra

I upgraded the Mac to Mojave and suddenly every time I tried to copy a file to or from the shares on th El Capitan Mac the finder would crash and the shares would drop ( mid copy ) ......


I found a solution but a kind of odd way to fix it...


I used an app called SMBconf ( you choose SMB version )......... chose to use SMB 3 on both Devices rebooted them both and Boom !! All working again .. I don't know if this just fixed a corrupted conf file ? but it worked for me !

Well, unfortunately the "samba connection issues after returning from sleep" that were fixed with the latest iterations of HighSierra weren't copied over to the Mojave code, apparently ...


Which is a huge shame since after not working in Sierra and in earlier versions of HighSierra they finally managed to fix such a fundamental issue only to throw it out of the window again.



Please, just fix it again.
