Thread: Cannot browse shared drive from OS X

    Cannot browse shared drive from OS X

    Hey guys.

    I just got a Macbook and are connected wirelessly to my Asus router but I cannot browse the shared folder from it. It works fine from my Windows machine or my Xbox 1 but not the macbook. Am I missing something to get this working?

    Thanks!

    Did you mount it first?
    here is a quick guide telling you how to do it:

    Also, your PC, MAC and Asus should be on the same workgroup. For the mac,
    you can check/change your Workgroup in Directory Access (/Applications/Utilities/) under Services > SMB/CIFS

    I got mine to work (samba from ipkg), and I think the important option in smb.conf was "encrypt passwords = yes". For some reason this is required, even though I don't use passwords in my setup. If this does not help, I can post my whole smb.conf once I get back to my box.
