Hi guys
This is my first post so please be kind
Since 1988 I've been a PC geek but this April I bought myself a Macbook and have loved the experience. It has been fun learning a new OS.
Anyways... I've been very proud of myself setting up network printers and the shared drives at work (an XP run school with Win2003 servers) over wireless without any tech support help. Indeed, our tech support "refuses to support Apple". Everything was working brilliantly when suddenly Finder's Command+K and "smb://10.blah.blah.blah" no longer gets me access to the staff shared drives. Well, it does, but all the main folders are suddenly empty with no sub-folders.
This sort of coincides with my upgrade to 10.5.7 but I don't know if that is the direct reason as I've not needed the shared drives for a couple of weeks.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've seen a lot of people complaining about the problem (especially when people upgraded from Tiger to Leopard) but not a lot of suggestions... then again, I could just be looking in the wrong place. Interestingly just before it stopped working I copied a bunch of files from my mac to a shared folder and while I could see them nobody on a Windows machine could.
