After having toyed around with smb and mounting windows shares, it seems to me that there are various problems with it.
1. You have to know machine names/ip numbers and share names. That's just not user-friendly.
2. You cannot mount more than one smb-share unless you want the system to "panic" as said in the relevant apple tech doc.
3. OS9x does not see smb shares. If you try to open a document, the login window pops up again. If you login, you see two smb shares with the same name (+"_1"), get an error message and still can't access thru 9.1.
4. Using AFP over AppleTalk or TCP/IP is not good enough coz you don't get the full WIN file names.
Any idea how to get smb and classic to work?
