howto connect to networkshares on Win2003 DC with macOS

E

Erik Lukac

Hi all,
does anybody know how I can connect to a Windows-DC running Win2003 via
my "finder" utility on MacOS 10.4?

I connect (I open Finder, click on top on "go"-> "connect to server"),
then I enter my DC's IP-Adress like "smb://192.168.1.1", click on
"connect", select the share and click on
"authenticate" and enter my domain (my full domain name), username and
password (correctly! I checked it!).

Somehow I get everytime the same error ("Could not connect to the server
because the name or password is not correct.")

This just comes when I try to connect to Win2003 OS with my
Domainadmin-Account (I haven't tried yet with any local accounts on that
machine), but not when I try to
connect to win XP with a local user-account (i.e. it works on XP with
local user-accounts)

So can anybody tell me how the f**k I might get any connections to
windows-2003-shares?

I already tried "mount_smbfs" but I am not mount's best friend

Hi - you should really post this in an AD group, as the problem has nothing
to do with Windows XP. That said, you may need to disable SMB signing. Also
try googling -
