The Design Can

I'm definitely no tech wiz and this isn't a tech blog, but I just figured out how to mount our file sharing drive to mac running 10.4. We have previously been an all Windows network and are currently transitioning to the Mac.

I have a G4 running 10.4 and as we all know, Samba doesn't work well in 10.4. The error is fixed in 10.5, but this G4 is too slow to run 10.5. Tried connecting via "Go to Server" with this address...smb://mynetworkaddress.local/volumename and I get the dreaded Error -36.

Well kids, it occured to me (after several weeks) to try the internal IP address. smb://192.168.X.X (the Xs are your numbers) and voila. I get a prompt to enter the server name, username and password, which I did and it mounted.

That's right. You got mounted.

Everyone loves ketchup. Not everyone loves Windows. I think this Asian company would have been wiser ripping off Apple. Apple-infused ketchup? Now that's a tasty idea.

TU and I were never the best of friends, but I had hoped we could patch things up after the whole "beware of the 26" thing.
