Setup information:
MacPro (10.11.6):
ethernet1 = DHCP (192.168.1.11)
ethernet2 = manually assigned (192.168.2.2)
FreeBSD (10.3 running Samba 4.4):
ethernet1 = DHCP (192.168.1.2)
ethernet2 = manually assigned (192.168.2.1)
Since both machines have dual gigabit Ethernet port, I decided to use a crossover cable to the FreeBSD server so I have a dedicated access to it.
The Samba server is used for serving video around the house and I thought using a dedicated connection would make MacPro<->Samba transfer much faster plus it wouldn't affect the the other people using it. I often transfer large files across the 2 devices.
I decided to reinstall OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 last night on the MacPro and that's when problem started.
Observations:
1. no problems with ping/ssh before/after OS X reinstall using 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x networks
2. before reinstall, I have no problems connecting to the Samba share using Finder (smb://192.168.2.1/share-name-here or smb://192.168.1.2/share-name-here)
3. after reinstall, I can still connect using 192.168.1.2 but I get the message below when using 192.168.2.1
I want to use 192.168.2.1 for reasons given above.
No change has happened on the FreeBSD side. I'm watching my samba logs (via tail) and looking at OS X console but nothing is showing up.
Any ideas? thanks
