You made my day! Our Macs with 10.4 and 10.6 don’t have this problem … I tried several things to find out that OSX 10.5 was the reason. Unneeded waste of time … thanks a million for this thread )

RESOLVED!
Adding your Domain Name before the User Name will resolve this issue.
For example: DomainName\UserName

I agree, this article was a LifeSaver for my MACs running 10.5x.
However, this DOES NOT WORK on my MAC’s running 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Using smb://fileserver tells me the server does not exist.
Using smb://fileserver:139 finds the server and asks me for a user name & password
(which it should) but then tells me the user name or password are incorrect.
The same user name and password still works on 2003 servers.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

This did not work for me.

Instead I used cifs://serverip:139/sharename and this worked. Thanks for getting to this point.

Cheers
