Hi, ever since I installed 10.5.2 rev.2 I can no longer seem to connect to my Windows shared drive, the share is shown in Finder like it should be, but when I try and browse it I get "Connection Failed" (see attached screenshot).
I haven't changed anything about my Windows share, and like I said it used to work just fine. Anyone seeing this in rev.2 too?

Thanks..... Mike

I have the exact same problem! And when I try to "Connect to server" Apple key+K, I get some message about the address not being correct smb:// afp:// and so forth. This is happening when I use an adress like smb://192.168.1.4 cifs://Server or simply ChrisiBook.local. I cannot connect to apple shares either :(

Did this work for you in 10.5.1? 10.5.2 rev.1?
My connections worked great in 10.4.x, never tried 10.5.x before...

Any help?

Also, I don't think this is a problem related to the network card in use. I can ping the other computers just fine.
If the network shares worked for you in 10.5.1 or any other Leo version, I'd try to copy the filesystem folder into this install. especially the URLMount folder inside it..

I'm gonna try this when I get home, that any maybe copy thes ones from 10.4.8 if it doesn't work.

Is everyone elses shares working?

I'm running a DFI Infinity RS482.
North bridge: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 RS482
South bridge: ATI SB450
Onboard network: Realtek RTL8110SB Gigabit PCI LAN (works native with 10.5.2)

What's your setup Mikeintosh?

nForce4 with built-in nVidia LAN, and also PCIe Marvell LAN. I installed the drivers for both (forcedeth and Marvell), internet is working fine, it's just my Windows shares I can no longer access. It definitely used to work with 10.5.2 rev.1.

I also get the "network address must begin with afp://, smb://" etc. error message, even though that's exactly what I am typing into the box. So it seems like we're in the same boat!

Tried smbclient in a terminal, it seems to recognise my Windows box but was also unable to connect.

In windows, edit your ethernet properties and in advanced (WINS) enable "Netbios TCP/IP" and in Leopard, preferences, network, enable shared files via SMB & AFP.

Thanks, but that didn't work (I already had AFP and SMB enabled).
Can any of you confirm they have this working with 10.5.2 rev.2 and a Windows share?

Thanks

Run the Marvins utility, i think there´s some problem with finder.

A search with Marvin's Utility didn't manage to find any encrypted/CPUID applications, unfortunately.

open the security preferences, firewall and enable for AFP "allow all the incoming...."
