Resolve Windows server connection issues via UAM
Authored by: Lanir on Sep 16, '04 10:25:14AM

I apologize if this seems basic but no one has mentioned it yet and it's one of the first steps I'd take in this situation. Have you tried the Command+K thing and then authenticating like so:

smb://username:password@server/share

This allows you to spell it all out on the commandline. Finder will keep track of username and password for the last server you connect to. On my system it doesn't record these if you save it as a favorite though and Keychain only seems to grok what's going on and supply the password if you put the username in as well as the server. So if you're connecting to multiple servers you'll have to type a username if you need to do it this way on a regular basis.
