Cannot Connect to Windows Server 2008 Shares from Mac OS X 10.4.11
I have a client that is unable to connect to their server from a Mac. I have verified that the Mac is able to get to the internet and can ping the server (the server is providing DHCP, DNS,WINS, etc) but I am unable to browse the server.
I've tried it two different ways: COMMAND + K from Finder as well as browsing Network -> Domain -> Server -> Connect
If I COMMAND + K and attempt a connection to smb://10.1.1.5 it tells me the credentials are incorrect. They're not . . .
If I browse, it tells me "The resource could not be opened because the original file could not be found." and gives me options to delete the alias (access denied), Fix the alias (wants me to point the server name to a file on the computer) or just press Ok.
What might you folks recommend? I'm stumped . . .

This solves the problem for me. Sorry to see that this issue still exists... I had the same problem with Windows Server 2003 4 years ago!

I dont remember, but Im pretty sure I did a test with Mac OS X 10.5 (the laptop of our Apple consultant) with the same result.
What version of Mac OS X Tiger did you use to connect to a Win2008 share?
Thanks!
