OSx Lion can't connect to Windows Shares (SMB)
22 Oct 2011Not sure if it’s been like this all along with Lion, or just after an update. However, all of a sudden, I can no longer access my windows shares on my home network.
-
Launch Terminal
-
Create a folder, for my test I created a desktop folder
mkdir ~/Desktop/MyMedia
-
Command Line Format to mount the SMB share:
mount -t smbfs //Username@ServerOrIP/Media ~/Desktop/MyMedia
-
A prompt will ask for your password
