Arrgghhh!! Working as a consultant for a local city PUD, I helped setup a Samba fileserver running on a Power Mac with Snow Leopard Server on a Windows Domain. Connecting from another Mac is trivial. But try and connect from a windows 7 desktop by browsing the network or searching by NetBios name or IP address keeps coming up with:
error code: 0x80070035 network path not found.
Even though the server is on the network and is pingable, and is properly attached to Active Directory, the Windows computer can't find the server...
Ok, now I was able to find the server by using it's IP address in the run search box (not via Windows Explorer - which lists the server on the network, but can't find it when you double click the entry), but cannot authenticate. The Samba access logs say: [user] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD, even though I use my domain login when the login prompt appears.
Solved:
I typed in the FQDN when using Windows Explorer to map the network drive, e.g. \\publicserv.
