Direct SMB connection works, Finder left pane returns "connection failed"

[nationalism]

This problem just cropped up after I reset my FreeNAS server to defaults and redid my zpool. It was working fine before. I'm running the latest version of FreeNAS with a Supermicro board.

I can connect to my CIFS share just fine by using Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server... and entering the smb:// plus the IP. However, selecting the share by name under "Shared" in Finder nets me a "Connection Failed" error. Selecting the "Connect As" button does nothing.

 

[dlavigne]

Is there a DNS server in the network that knows the IP address and hostname of the FreeNAS system? If not, is there a hosts directory for the FreeNAS system on the client system?

 

[nationalism]

1. Yes and 2. the problem is client-agnostic.

Can you ping your FreeNAS server by FQDN? Is your Mac set up to use your DNS server?
One time I had similar issue on a Mac. It turned out I configured Ethernet to use the proper DNS, but forgot to change DNS on wireless (which is what the person used).

 

[nationalism]

As I stated above, the problem is client-agnostic. It happens on every Mac on the network.

Please upload your smb4.conf file. Do the log files say anything when you try to connect via finder?

you may have to increase verbosity of logging to see what is happening when you try to select the share in Finder.
Verify that you macs are in the same workgroup "WORKGROUP" as your FreeNAS server.
Do you have "zeroconf share discovery" enabled in CIFS?
Does it work if you set the share to allow guest access?
What version of FreeNAS are you using?

 

[nationalism]

1. Macs are also in WORKGROUP.
2. Zeroconf share discovery is enabled.
3. Enabling guest access doesn't fix the problem.
4. I am on 9.2.1.6-RELEASE-x64 (ddd1e39).

I'm having exactly the same issue. Very irritating. Love to see if anyone has a solution for this.

 

[anodos]

Nationalism, the errors in your log indicate that you don't have a DNS reverse lookup zone and so you should disable hostname lookups in your CIFS config. Increase logging verbosity and try authenticating again (and attach your log.smbd file).
Can you connect via 'connect to server' and typing 'smb://hostname' or 'smb://hostname.local'?
Are you using both AFP and CIFS on your server?

You may also want to run tcpdump to get a packet capture to see what's really happening when you click on the FreeNas server's name in the finder pane.
