  • OS X 10.5.6 refuses network connections….

    Posted by Chris Borjis on June 9, 2009 at 8:07 pm

    Just about at my wits end here trying to figure out why
    the heck 10.5.6 will not allow other macs & pc’s to connect to it.

    on a pc the “shares” show up in network neighborhood.
    on a mac the “shares” show up as something you can mount.

    every time I’m prompted for a user name & password it just flat out refuses.

    I tried user/pass of the 10.5.6 system, I even put in the user names of
    the other systems (that certainly should have worked)

    I’ve been a network engineer for 10 years & this really has me stumped.

    It seems like there is something clearly broken here.

    If I use ftp it works, but I need it to work properly as it did before I upgraded
    to mac pro machines and leopard.

    any ideas?

    I’ve narrowed it down to an SMB issue.

    AFP (mac to mac) works fine.

    unfortunately the pc’s need SMB to network.

    I unboxed the other system and it did not have the problem.

    I was able to fix it by updating to 10.5.7 (was running 10.5.6)

    weird.
