Howdy,

I've just got my Mac Pro working, and done a fresh install of Leopard. This is the first time I have used leopard, and they have changed the Directory Access utility, and I cannot, for the life of me connect to my windows 2003 server? Worked fine on Tiger, but how do I do it on Leopard?

In tiger I would go to Applications > Utilities > Directory Access and in here I would enable SMB/CIFS and enter my workgroup name (WORKGROUP) then I created a applescript to connect to cifs://WORKGROUP;Steve@WRIGHT/WEBSITES for example, and that would mount my Windows drive when I start up... it just says it cannot find the server now?

If I try to Go > Connect to server and enter smb://WRIGHT or sumin, it says the same? Would do I need to do to get Leopard to see a Windows server?

Any help will be appreciated.

This is annoying me now, if I connect to my Vista PC via Connect to Server > smb://keogh then it will ask me what share and connect no problems.

But trying to connct to the Windows 2003 server via smb://wright it just says the connection failed check the name/ip address bla bla bla.

Why wont it connect to my Windows 2003 server? But connects to my Vista pc no probs?
 
Ignore me, Im a fool, I had my 2003 box set to allow only certain IP addresses, my Mac Pro is on a new IP address, so I just need to add that :)

sorry!
