rdfrahm Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Since upgrading from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7 on my Acer Aspire One yesterday I can no longer connect to my network shares via smb. I can see the server in the pane on the left side of Finder, but clicking on it does nothing. Clicking on 'Connect as' does nothing as well. When I try using 'Connect to server' it opens a dialog saying it's 'Connecting to server' but never succeeds and never prompts for user id and password. Also, when I scan for open ports 139 is not open. I did this same upgrade in VirtualBox on a Linux machine and it went fine and works great. Ports 139, 445 and 548 are all open on that machine but none are open on the Acer. I can run smbclient -L on a remote server and it sees all the shares on it. I've done a lot of searching and found a lot of people with smb problems in 10.6.7 but so far have been unable to get this working. Any suggestions?

rdfrahm Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Finally! I did more searching and came across this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2791005?start=0&tstart=0 It suggests doing 'repair disk' from disk utility. I didn't do that but I did do 'repair permissions', rebooted, and success! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
