Help MAC won't mount file server

[spyd3r]

Hi All,

I've been fighting this MAC problem ever since we upgraded to a Win 2003 server. The G-4 laptop is running OS X.

I can't seem to make the mac mount the server. It can see it and tries to mount but errors before it connects.

I'm not mac oriented. If anyone has any ideas and/or has sucessfully mounted a mac to a win 2003 server please let me know how this is done.

Thanks!

Dissabling this setting sometimes helps as well.

Which version of OSX? 10.3 makes everything a whole lot easier.

I deleted and reinstalled to make the mac log on.

In order to make the mac see anything i had to move shared and personal folders to the mac volume.

I got on those links and kept surfing until I thought maybe I had done something wrong in the first place which is why I went with the reinstall.

Thanks Again!!!

Travis, not sure what version of OS X she is using.

Did you install the Microsoft UAM on the MAC? The Apple UAM works but the MS UAM gives full security and allows the user to use Windows shares. Of course, you still need to install file and print for MAC on the Server.

Unless it is OSX 10.3.
