SHARING OS X files , windows Client [SOLVED]

[baguazao]

Dear All,

 

I've read forums and googled for 24 hours but still can't get the shares to work properly.

 

If I share with Everyone Read Write Permissions I can get windows to access the shares.

 

Windows cannot access the shares If I set the right permissions: Only MyUser to read-write and only Users to Read, Everyone NO-Access.

 

I tried accessing from Vista and from XP but neither can browse the shares.

 

From my other Linux machine I can browse and access fine:

 

[charles@charles ~]$ smbclient  //192.168.3.141/charles -U charles
Password: 
Domain=[CHARLES] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-apple]
smb: \> ls

I'm switching from Linux to Mac and I had my shares working fine on Linux Samba, every time a user try to access a protected share Windows would request Username and Password, but that behavior is not happening on OS X.

 

I can go and modify smb.conf, but that would break the GUI compatibility, anyone suggest anything else ?

 

I already tried changing Vista LM Compatibility to 1 2 3 but no luck, It never asks for authentication, just tells me to check the spelling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guys I also already tried

 

\\user:pass@computer\share

 

and Also tried going to Map Network drive and checking the option to logon with another user.

 

By the way

If I go to command prompt and type

 

net use f: \\computer\share the Drive F: is created but I cannot access it due to permissions.

 

 

 

 

 

OKAY, HERE GOES THE SOLUTION:

 

CHANGE LM CompatibilityLevel to 5 on regedit.

 

LMCompatibility is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\LSA

Use REGEDIT
