Mac OSX trouble connecting to Netgear NAS
Hi guys
I have a Mac that I made member of a Windows 2008 domain and it work fine except it has trouble connecting to the share drive located on a Negear Ready NAS 3200.
Some time it connect but most of the time it does not.
If I keep trying it will endup connecting but it's very frustating.
I enable the support for osx on the nas but still the same problem.
I'm not an expert on Osx.
Any idea what can cause this?

Try going to Go->connect to server
then enter "smb://IPADDRESS" or the server name. If that doesnt work, try "afp://IPADDRESS"
then enter "smb://IPADDRESS" or the server name. If that doesnt work, try "afp://IPADDRESS"
I will try again but I think I already try with the IP adress just to make sure is not a DNS problem.
Did not make any change.
I also enable afp on the Nas.

are you using SMB? just navigating to the server via the finder? have you tried pining the NAS to see if it might be dropping packets or something? when are are unable to connect, what message does it give you?
