Try to change your computer name then restart your computer.
Try to access CIFS with new name.

It worked for me.

Hello Isabel,
I just replied to your PN and read this post afterwards. If you get a dialog with User/password, you are throught he firewall, so my remarks are more for the background

Regarding Login problems, I can just state, that you need to use the alfresco user/password, but Windows is a bit strange wiht handling passwords. When researchiv another problem with user "me" and hostuser "hme" from my mashine "xp-1" of the domain "bw", I found following logon attempts in my log
* me (my windows logon - has no rights at the host)
* bw\me (see above)
* xp1\me (nonexistent)
* bw\hme (nonexistent - hostuser + windows domain)

So it might be a windows problem. Try logging in with <host>\<username> or <targetip>\<username> or <username>@<host>

Its kinda of silly but CIFS wasn't working for me on a linux install because the service was already running on the box so Alfresco couldn't start CIFS. I don't know what environment your running Alfresco in but your error messages matched mine.

I guess that is due to the following (Windows) issue:

Native SMB collisions

Native SMB can be disabled by adding the following registry key :-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters] "SMBDeviceEnabled"=dword:00000000

A reboot is required after creating this key. Setting the value to one or deleting the registry key will restore native SMB support.

Best regards,
Alessandro
