Title: [Solved] Mac OS X 10.6 (SL) will not mount DNS-323 with SMB
Post by: chod on September 02, 2009, 02:46:53 PM
The newest version of Mac OS X 10.6 will not mount the DNS-323 using SMB. If you try and connect through Go>Connect to Server>smb://ipnumber it will give an invalid username of password error. If you try and browse to the server through the finder and click on the share, it will give a generic "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Volume_1" can't be found." 

Is there a problem with the SMB implementation on Mac OS X 10.6, or does the new 3.0.28 version of SMB on the Mac break with the older version on the DNS-323?

Yeah, the version of Samba on the DNS-323 isn't up-to-date.

I'm running FW 1.08b5 on my DNS-323, though, and it works fine.  I think that's your only choice at the moment, as I don't believe FW 1.07 works with SL, and I know FW 1.06 does not.

Thanks for the heads up. Will verify but it does sound like a SMB version imcompatibility.

Thanks!

Works fine for me using 1.08b5 with snow leopard.

On a side note i'm quite surprised that snow leopard ships with such an old version of samba (v3.0.28a).

I'm not.. Apple has always deliberately had extremely poor support for SMB.  It's only been 7 years now and they still don't support SMB signing in a Windows 2003/2008 domain environment.  Reasons like "Interoperability" have always angered me at Apple.  I can make a Linux or Unix computer interface with a Windows environment easier than with Apple and it's very sad the still choose to do the "my way or the highway" routine:  iPod/iPhone, iTunes, OSX desktop/server...

Hi folks,
got the same problem: shares are seen, but not accessable. any idea how to fix the problem? Apple does not give any commitment to help. Thank you for any hints what to do best.

Upgrade your FW is the only thing I know to fix it at the moment.

It sounds like at least one person claims it works fine with FW 1.07, and several of us are running FW 1.08b5 with Snow Leopard without issue.

ok, I will try to....but is there any risk of loosing data or access rights? What are the risks to upgrade the FW?
Thanks for an answer to an newbee

I have SMB working with SL.  I'm using firmware 1.07.   

Any thoughts to supporting AFP?

This solution works! My entire lab was unable to access the DNS-323 (with the 1.07 firmware) after the computers were updated to 10.6 (SL). The other lab with 10.5 machines continued to connect without issue. After we updated the DNS-323's firmware to 1.08b5 and rebooted the DNS-323 a second time, all computers could once again connect. This appears to be the best solution and possibly only choice.

I'm not sure why some can continue to access the DNS-323 with the 1.07 firmware after upgrading their computer, but it appears many can not... and of the 8 computers I upgraded, all stopped connecting afterward.

I've just run into this exact same issue. In the recent past I hit the same issue between Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 (where 9.04 didn't work). I still haven't resolved that issue and hope that FW 1.08b5 will solve it, But.... where can I find this FW version? It's not on the main DLINK support site and a few searches on this forum have left me empty handed.

Beta firmware won't work for me. I still can not access DNS with SL. I have tried everything, it worked fine in OSX10.5.8.

Did you reset to defaults before and after the upgrade to FW 1.08b5?
Title: Re: Mac OS X 10.6 (SL) will not mount DNS-323 with SMB
Post by: dsmturbo on September 17, 2009, 12:47:50 AM
No, I did not reset to factory before or after. I have reverted back to V1.07
The thing is as well I am unable to even access the DNS web page. I have an assigned IP of .184 on it. My Vista and Windows XP access and see it no problems. As a matter of fact, my Mac can nor even see my Windows machine in Finder Network. I have to connect via entering IP addresses in Finder.

I will reset and try V1.08 again. Also, I will remove all user passwords and shares from DNS and leave open.

And I will remove user accounts I created for other machines on Mac file sharing.

Post by: dsmturbo on September 18, 2009, 10:14:56 AM
Okay, I reset to factory, upgraded to V1.08B, reset to factory. Still I can not access NAS. I can't even access the web page login for it at 192.XXX.X.184 as I have a Static IP set on box.

No problems in Windows Vista or XP.

My Mac shows up on my windows machines and I can access it. My Windows machines show up on my Mac under network. This is crazy, worked fine with leopard. I don't know what to do next

You definitely have other network/LAN issues you'll have to resolve first before we can help you with the DNS-323/Snow Leopard SMB mounting issue.

I use OSX SL (10.6.1) with DNS-323 Firmware 1.06 and I have no issues connecting to my DNS unit.
I'm able to connect to folders that require username/password both through the finder and using the direct "connect to server" method.

Hope this helps.

I'm behind on this thread since fixing my issue. Just wanted to say changing my password to all numeric characters fixed my connectivity issue. I don't expose the unit to the internet so I'm not too worried about the weak password. Haven't tried reverting back to see if I once again lose connection from my Mac.

Post by: 4x4rnr on September 22, 2009, 10:01:44 AM
I've tried both direct "connect to server" and numeric passwords, both still fail with mac 10.6.1 and dns-323 1.06. I'll be upgrading from 1.06 to 1.08b5 tonight (now that my 6+ hour backup is complete).

Does anybody know from experience if I'll be required to reformat drives and/or lose data (besides my config) during this upgrade? On a prior upgrade (can't recall which one) I was required to reformat drives when the file system switched from ext2 to ext3. I'm wondering if I'll need another 6+ hours to put my data back or if I'll get to keep it there.

I had all kinds of problems with 10.6 and the DNS-323 until I turned off Jumbo Frames on my Mac. With this enabled, it would lock up the finder, or take forever to list the files. I even upgraded to 1.08 beta and it still caused issues. I've been reading of issues with Jumbo Frames and some NAS boxes in Snow Leopard.

No, you won't lose your data by upgrading from 1.06 to 1.08b5, and I would recommend doing a reset to defaults via the web GUI, both before and after the new FW flash.

Thanks all for the input. I upgraded from 1.06 to 1.08b5, following the advice of clearing the config before and after the upgrade. Mac OS 10.6.1 now works find, as does 10.5.8. Additionally, I can now connect my Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 boxes to secured shares (they used to fail just like os 10.6).

One quick comment about FW 1.08b5: When you back up a config file it is now in a binary format, whereas the 1.06 file was plain text. This was a bit of a pain rebuilt my new config and wanted to diff it against the old on to see if I got all the users, groups and shares correct. If I could have my way, I'd prefer text-based configs over binary. Just my $.02.

"Beta code!" is a child board of this DNS-323 board. There is a sticky topic (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=5486.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=5486.0)) in that board that has a link to the beta code, after you read all the beta disclaimers.

I went from working 1.07 to broken 1.08 - dam password issue. Numeric doesn't work either (SL 10.6.2).

Why can't we have decent passwords, and support for AFP - dlink claim the 323 is mac friendly...

I can only access my shares using "All Accounts" - rubbish.

I use passthrough authentication so anything other than a basic (crap) password won't work.

abc123def will work for example.  @bc!23d3f won't.

No symbols, no complexity etc - lame...

Another quick solution to this problem is to only use numbers as password for Mac-users.
