I am running mac OS xserver 10.5.1 for file services in a medium sized school department (around 50 users). I have enabled smb service for the windows users and I am able to access the sharepoints from most of the office PCs (in the same subnet). However, for some of them, when I try to access the server to map the network drive, server is accessible, but it does not accept my username and password. It does not give any error message, it simply doesn't go past the user authentication screen. I had a similar problem earlier with all accounts on the server and I ended up concluding that the passwords need to be open directory type. After that, I was able to access the server using the username in either one of the 2 formats:
ip address/username or
username@ip address
both of these don't work for some PCs...
Any solutions??
and by the way, for smb, all three type of authentications: NTLM, NTLMv2 and kerberos and LAN manager are checked...
I would appreciate any help in this...
