I saw someone else asked this question, but I didn't see a reply to the answer.
Recently installed 10.4 Tiger on my iMac at work. Biggest issue I'm having is connecting to other users in my network. (BTW, I'm the sole Mac user in a 100+ PC environment, so I'm pretty much on my own with troubleshooting problems).
Under Panther it was easy to access other computers on the network. I just clicked on the server icon in Finder, entered my username and password and it displayed asked me which server I wanted to connect to. When I clicked the appropriate one the server was mounted on the left side of the finder under my hard disk.
Since Tiger's install I click on the server icon but it doesn't ask me for a username or password. It just opens the window that says "Select the SMB/CIFS shared volume you want to connect to." When I select it and click "OK"it tells me that the alias can't be open because the original item can't be found. I can either delete alias, fix alias or click OK. It appears to not matter which choice I make. Nothing happens. The volume doesn't mount in the side of the Finder.
Here's the odd thing...when I open an application (Word, etc.) I can see the volume that I'm trying to connect to in the Finder, but it doesn't appear to be "mounted" as it was under Panther.
It's kind of a pain doing this work-around as I have to do the log in to the network twice before the volume appears.
I'm not sure if any of this is clear, but I'd sure appreciate any advice folks have.
TIA
Patrick
