Mounting Win2k share - I GOT IT!

[hazmat]

I finally mounted a Win2k Pro share on my home network from OS X! I did it plenty of times at my old job, but could never get it working here. I finally figured it out at http://homepage.mac.com/dj2k/sharing/sharing.htm . Apparently OS X's SMB cannot mount machines as IPs, only names. For some reason I had never tried it, and poof, connected right away. I just had one of those "Duh" looks on my face.

A long time ago when I used SMB I was able to use IP adddesses to connect to servers. Maybe something has changed in recent builds? I haven't messed with any of it in a while.
