Do i need to have macintosh services running in order to use SMB for the macs to connect to a windows 2000 file server. When i go to transfer files from my mac to the file server the server craps out and i get a blue screen STOP error : KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
0X0000001E(0XC0000005,0XB7252804, 0X00000000, 0X61C93155)
ADDRESS B7252804 base at B723E000, DATE STAMP 3d7d3925-SFMSRV.SYS

From the searching ive done it seems that this has something to do with the macintosh services, so i was wondering if i can turn this off if SMB doesn't rely on it. Also, if i can turn this off will this affect my file types of files on the server when i try to access from my mac. Thanks, Bob.
 
Services are an integral part of MacOS X 10. They have been so since from the beginning when the OS was called NetXTstep. You may be able to disable a particular third-party service or group of third-party services. However, you cannot disable Services.
 
I shold of rephrased, i meant stop the services. I was able to on the windows 2000 server and all is well. SMB doesn't rely on the Macintosh File Server service so i disabled it and no more blue screen.
 
Did you disable the AFP service or the SMB service and on which machine did you disable the service?

Peace...
 
Well i scrapped the install, back to good old NT4. There were problems with the ._ files locking so i just put them back on NT4 for now.
 
Nobody seems to get this: He's talking about a Windows 2000 server's services for Mac clients (which would use AFP instead of SMB). Nothing to do with the "Services" of Mac OS X derived from NeXT-Step or the Sharing preference pane in OS X.

Yep, I'm confused but he's using "SMB" everywhere, and not AFP. :)

If he's got the AFP service running on Windows 2000 server, he won't need to do any Windows networking between the Windows server and his Mac at all. It should all be AppleTalk, at least I think it would be. Perhaps the AFP server on Windows 2000 server is quirky.

Peace...
