Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Windows and
Mac file sharing for small lab
Javier,
What you describe is easy to do (in fact I connect to the HIT file
server from my Mac without special software). Share the folder on the
Windows system, go to the Mac, in the Finder (will show in the top left corner,
if not, click on a blank area of the desktop) then go to the "Go"
menu, select "Connect to server...." and type in the address of the
shared folder in the format of protocol + :// + server + file path. So to
connect to my personal space on the HIT file server I use smb://team-user2/murrayt5 which prompts me
for my network logon and password, then "mounts" the shared folder on
the Mac. That's it.

I have a lab that is made up of 3 Mac’s
that aren’t networked together at this time, but would like to use a new Dell
PC as a fileserver for all 3 Mac’s. Anyone have any advice for setting
this up? The Mac’s are about 1 year old (PowerPC’s) running OSX
(10.4.x) The Dell is brand new. They were thinking of using Folder
Share, but were asking if this is the best way to go without spending much
money. If software is needed for this to happen, they are willing to
purchase it.
Thanks,
