Sharity -2.4b6.sit problems

[feynman]

I'm new to the mac and just got OS X up and running and would like to say I think i've been converted from wintel. That said I still have some win2k machines that I would like to access which I thought was a lost cause unless you are willing to pay top dollar. Browsing this message board, however, I learned of shariy... and had a nice warm feeling run over my body. Then the story of my life unfolded... I can get it unpacked. I download the Sharity-2.4b6.sit and when Stuffit Expander trys to do its thing I get this message

" You have specified a flat destination for extracting a folder. The folder will be saved as individual files (without the folder structure). "

I then click on ok and then recieve the following message
"Sorry, but a disck related error (-5000) has prevented the operation from concluding."

I am logged in under the accounted I created under the install and pick the format with unix file something or something to that effect when I installed os x(this is my guess of what the problem might be). Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Strange. Before i say something. Let me ask these questions. Did you formatted the OSX disk to be UFS? Is the disk full? Are you sure you downloaded it correctly. Try again. These things might cause problems.

Now if that isn't it. Go to Applications/Utillities/Aladding/Stuffit Expander and open it. In the menu's look for Preferences and open them. Now in the left panel of the prefs. window scroll down and click on the icon destination. Now set destination to "ASK" Now if you let Sharity expand it will ask you where to drop the expanded stuff. Try to choose a different location.

I've gotten the thing to install and everything works just wonderfully but there's one minor problem. It doesn't see anything on my network. I know my network works because I've been able to FTP from my Win98 to my MacOSXPB. I'm sure I put in the right workgroup too. I don't understand it.

Can you acces the servers and files from the command-ine?
Mail me if you need more help.

Actually, I haven't gotten it to do anything. Not even in the command line. I was thinking about installing Samba on my machine and seeing if Sharity could see itself, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

First, open the config of Sharity.
Go to CIFS General
Make sure the Domain has been filled in.

Go to CIFS Browsers
Check if the domain is correct here!

Go to Sharity mounts
Is there a mount here?
It should say
/Network/CIFS root cifsBrowse browser(or .default) MSR

Check back with me with your results

I must have looked the thing over a million times, and its all correct. Do you think it could be the machine I'm on? Or could it be the Windows computer's I'm connecting to?

Well, i'm kinda puzzled by this. No clue whatsoever on what is causing this. Have you tried reinstalling it?
