Re: connecting from MAC OS X to a Samba share



Hi Tim,

there was not any connection to be noticed at all first ; when we used
the IP address only,
nothing came up on the Mac. I checked the logfiles, and I could not
determine anything had happened originating from the Mac.

However - we managed to add something like
smb://10.20.1.1/sharedfolder
on the Mac, and this seems to work

which is kind of logical - since that way you get direct access to the
folder

I guess the browsing of a smb-enabled machine is currently crooked under
Mac OS X
for now - I think we can help ourselves ; browsing would be nice though,
but you can't have everything in life I guess ...

thanks for your help

frank
