Can not see all shared files from file server on the network

[QASA25]

Hi all. I got a mac computer at office and i connected it to nework using ethernet cable . Now i have problem seeing all my folders in the network. could any expert tell me how to fix this problem and be able to view all shared files from file server on the network.Thanks

Are all the folders on the network set with you to have browse permissions? Meaning does the network server had certain areas only accessible to certain logins - doesn't allow guests etc.?

dmacster is right...without permissions you will not see anything. Our mac users can mount shared drives when need be but can only browse files and folders they have permission to use. If they try to mount a shared volume that they don't have permission to use they can mount it but cannot see any contents. Since I am using a mac and am the network admin I see all and can browse all.

Thanks for u replyes. Well i am loging as an admin and the files are on the server.i do not think it is problem with the permitions. I tested on mac and other windows they were able to view the files on the server but i can not in this mac computer. Could any one tell me how to setup the mac computer to find and view sharwed folder on the network both by using cable and wirless connection?I be happy to get some suggest for troubleshoting this problem.Thanks
