Well, not EMERGENCY but URGENT. (Everybody can work crossplatform apps for a short painful time...) I work at a place with a 3yr old panther server w/mostly Macs. Had to replace power supply due to stubborn reboot loop a couple days ago. Macs back on line. However, having terrible permission probs getting two critical PCs (in dept) to recognize already mapped server drive.
The repetitive NT message during connection is always "the account is not authorized to login frpm this station."
Remapping to exact address is futile.
Existing PC Admin/User login and passwords are futile.
I've tried a handful of what I thought were sensible things (probably 6 hours total in 48 hrs) to no avail.
Would appreciate ballpark guidance.
