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"
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.

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
