Hi i have a samba server running at home on a slack8 box and i tried to connect to it using the Go command in the finder

i tried smb://server-name

i heard im suppose to get a prompt to enter the login passwd of the server but nothing happens it just sits there

could someone give me the exact command to uses cuz i think this not be the actual command to use

i have a win2k connecting to the server just fine btw

TIA

Hey,

Took me a go or two the first time, too:

smb://server-name/share-name

its important to put the share name in. Hence on a machine called bill with the share lotsa$ you would get:

smb://bill/lotsa$

it should then pop you up a dialog where you can enter domain name, user name and passwd.

hope this helps.

If you need to specify a workgroup (I have to):

smb://workgroupname;servername/sharedname
