Humax Foxsat HDR and Apple Mac (Highly technical)

Finally, a solution to accessing the Humax from OSX Lion. i.e. SMB sharing.

Quote "My experience is that Lion has upgraded the smb protocol stack and is
using a more secure authentication procedure."

Apple's fine engineers gave instructions on how to return Lion's smb
security protocol back down to Snow Leopard's level. They suggested using the
following command that needs to be run in a terminal window everytime Lion
boots:-

 sudo sysctl -w net.smb.fs.kern_deprecatePreXPServers=0

To restore the smb protocol stack back to Lion's original state either reboot
or run the following command in a terminal window:-

 sudo sysctl -w net.smb.fs.kern_deprecatePreXPServers=1

Also check out AV forums for Raydon's alternative firmware for the Humax:-

Many thanks to Davy for this.
