RE: [Fed-Talk] Mapping a drive to a server folder?



Title: Mapping a drive to a server folder?
If you are on AD, then check the AD settings on your machine (Directory Services utility) and verify you have the correct WINS server addresses.
 
Try using the machines IP address instead of it's NETBios name. (where snowball513 is the netbios name), and use the SMB command instead of "file"
 
smb: \\ip.add.re.ss\applications.
then you can save the drivemap shortcut on your desktop.
 
Caveat: if the Windows boxes are on Active Directory *and* NTLM security is set to 3 or higher, you will not be able to access the machine w/o a 3rd party program.

Subject: [Fed-Talk] Mapping a drive to a server folder?

Had another coworker send me the following

The path to the folder where your files will be  is:
map a drive to \\snowball123\applications <file://\\snowball513\applications>

Course they think I am on a  PC but we use Macs. They want me to map a folder to my desktop. I changed some of the info in the path above for security reasons but the format of the path is the same. I tried using “Connect to server” under the GO pull  down. Didn’t work. Can someone help or point me in the direction of a Help file?

I told them to just let me know which server this folder is located on and I would just FTP to the site But FTP is not turned on.

Another example of a path name we have trouble with is


file://\\ad.football.xxxx.mil\orgshares\sunshine\BOIM\Shared%Files




Thanks
