SMB mount failure workaround
I've been beating my brains out on a related issue which involves tunnelling smb over ssh. Here's the deal: I create a tunnel to one of my church's PowerBooks like so:
Where 192.168.0.101 is a Win XP box with a share established and church.addr.org is the public address of my PowerBook. But when I try to connect from my local desktop using Connect to server like this:
and every other iteration of localhost, 127.0.0.1, workgroup no workgroup, etc., I get this error each time:
If I take my computer and go onsite, I can connect with just:
And it works great. I can also do this from the computer that is my SSH tunneling machine. As part of my SSH tunnel, I also add -L 5900:192.168.0.102:5900 to tunnel my VNC and it works great, so I am confident that my SSH tunnels are working.

Looks to me like you need to include the increase port number on the local machine and specify it locally to get the traffic routed through the tunnel.
SMB mount failure workaround
SSH tunnels TCP traffic, but SMB mounting currently (as of 10.3.5) involves UDP queries which are not tunneled. What you are describing was possible with 10.3.3 and earlier (I know because I used to do it, and now it no longer works).

The problem might be with the way 10.3 handles localhost as an alias (see this hint for details). Try changing 'localhost' in your example to '127.0.0.1' and see if that makes a difference; it worked for me when forwarding VNC over ssh suddenly broke after upgrading to 10.3.

Ah, n/m; I see that you already tried with both 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1'. |
