Thanks, Alan. However, none of that is helpful.
To reiterate: The Mac user is connected to my network locally, and is
trying to connect to a share on a Linux file server whose security is
managed through a SAMBA-emulated NT domain (SAMBA 3.x).
I don't think ports on the router come into play here.
The user has been given a valid login name and password for the domain.
The user can use these credentials to connect to a local internal email
server running on the domain controller. Since the domain uses the exact
same credentials for all forms of access, these credentials should work to
connect to the share if the user is given the opportunity to input them.
However, he is no longer getting an opportunity to do so. In the Network
dialog, the user can see all of the machines on the network, but the
"Connect as..." button does not function. Clicking it does nothing.
Using the Finder's "Connect to Server..." option, the user can enter:
cifs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
to get a list of shares on the file server, but the share I want him to
have access to is greyed out (disabled) and cannot be clicked. Other shares
on the server are not grey, but also (as expected and desired) cannot be
connected to, since those are set up with limited access to specific users.
Also, this dialog does not provide any way to present credentials for the
connection.
Can you suggest anything else?
Thanks very much.
