I'm having problems login into Windows shared folders on my network with OSX86.

 

The network is running fine and I can see al the servers and PC's on my Windows network. I can also login into shared folders without permisions. But when I try to login into a shared folder that requires user and password it doesn't recognize it and can't connect. I've tried login with the correct user and passwork but there's no way.

 

Has somebody tryed to open Windows shared folders with success?

 

Best regards!

Try this with password protected shares, I find this easier then going through Mac network.

 

In finder click Go>Connect to servers then add this

 

smb://user:pass@IP/share

Hope that helps

Thanks a lot for you help.

 

I've tryed it and worked perfectly on a Windows 2000 Server share. But I'm trying to connect to a Windows 2003 Server share and doesn't seems to work. I've rechecked the login and server information but doesn't work. ;)

 

Can somebody confirm that has connected succesfully to a Windows 2003 Server share?

Does your Windows 2003 server use domains if so then try these

 

smb://domain:user:pass@IP/share

cifs://domain:user:pass@IP/share

 

Also try this

 

cifs://user:pass@IP/share

 

I have never run Windows 2003 sever so I have no clue. Does your Windows 2000 server connect to your 2003 server?

Thanks for your help and suggestions. Sadly it didn't worked also. I've tryed all the connections strings and tryed with different combinations without success. Even if I search the network on Mac OSX I can find the server and when click on connect... it ads the domain and asks for user and password. But it says it's not correct.

 

The problems seems to be with Windows 2003 Server. I have no problems connecting to other shares like Windows 2000 Server or Windows XP.

 

I've tryed to connect from my 2000 Server to my 2003 Server and worked perfect. It just asked for username and password and loged in the first time.

 

It's really weird.

I've been doing some testing with the information provided by you...

 

I've tryed clearing the keychains and all combinations of connection strings from the Finder. Nothing worked on a Windows 2003 Server.

 

Then tried from the Terminal and I've had a surprise. Using the smbclient command I can connect to the server without problems and list all the files inside. But this is not very useful as I can't access the share from the Finder.

 

I've tryed to mount the share from the Terminal using mount_smbfs command. This not worked.

 

So by now I'm unable to use the network share from the Finder. :)
