OSX windows network share problem solved
Tags: apple
At work, connecting to one of our three windows network shares with OSX took a
long time. 1.5 minute or so. Irritating. I tried several solutions, but none
of them worked. Connecting from linux or windows wasn’t a problem.
With last week’s OSX 10.7.3 update,
the problems are gone! A connection is now made in 6 seconds or so. Way better
than 1.5 minute.
There are some notes on the update page like “address compatibility issues
with Microsoft Windows file sharing” and “improve binding and login speed for
Active Directory users in a domain whose name ends in .local”, so one of those
probably solved it.
