For windows ME?
Authored by: flynavy99 on Jan 29, '03 01:23:53AM

I also keep getting -36's. What is most frustrating is that it used to work, now it does not. I simply set up home networking on the Windows ME and then used "connect to" on the IBook and it worked. Now all -36's. What should I check?

A Solution?!?!?!
Authored by: JeremySwampillai on Mar 01, '03 12:07:23PM

I've had the same problem with the SMB error -36 but it's come on only
recently after having worked beautifully for months. I don't actually
believe it's a Mac OSX error; rather, I think it's a Windows sharing/
network configuration error.

I couldn't understand why my SMB connection stopped working and
managed to trace it back to a setting change that I made on my Win2K
server a while ago.

I cannot guarantee that this will work for everyone but it worked for me
:

1. Right-click on Network Neighbourhood and go to Properties
2. Click on Advancedand then Advanced Settings
3. Under the Adapters & Bindings tab, ensure that TCP/IP is bound to
both "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks"

This one simple change worked and immediately my SMB sharing from
Mac to PC was working again.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jeremy

works for you - just so I know that what I did was a legit fix rather than
just a lucky guess... :)
