The only alert message that Mac OS X displays for SMB login difficulties is "There's no file service available at the URL.Drag one volume to the Trash to eject it before connecting to another.

Someone told me that there could an issue with extended permissions and ACL, but I am not sure about that. I tried changing the permission of the folders to 755, changing the groups, and as well owners to root/admin, but it didn't work. I made sure my file sharing was activated and made my folders available for sharing with smb. Lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 14 May 12:02 Macintosh HD -> /ĭrwxrwxrwx+ 1151 foo staff 39202 14 May 12:58 ExternalUSB Here is my /Volumes/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 128 14 May 12:58. I can share my Music, Scans,Movies and even share my local hard drive, but for some reason not the external one. This only happens with certain folders, to be specific my Documents, Desktop, and as well the external hard drive. When I click the Documents folder I received an error message: The operation can’t be completed because the original item for Documents can’t be found The folders appear when go to finder->network and click the selected computer. However, certain folders cannot be shared.

I am trying to share some folders and my external USB hard drive through smb for my local network.
