We are having difficulty getting Mac OS/X clients to connect
to Windows 2003 servers. The Samba client included with OS/X is
apparently brain dead and does not switch to port 445 after not receiving a
reply from ports 137-139. What are other admins doing to connect Macs to
Windows 2003 servers?
P.S. – Apple really is an odd company. Brilliant
in many areas and yet, as far as I can tell, they require NETBIOS for corporate
file transfer. We have known for the last 10 years that NETBIOS was
inadequate, insecure and needs to be phased out.
