PC to Mac 10.5.1 + Dreamweaver locked files

We have just transferred all our files over to a Mac 10.5.1 server. I maintain a number of websites via Dreamweaver CS3 with our local files stored on the new server.

We have a couple of PCs that are now unable to unlock files on the new server. No problem with the Macs.

Can someone point to where there may be some information on the issue of PCs (XP) and file permissions on the Mac Leopard 10.5.1 server.

One website alone has over 25,000 files locked. The locking feature is essential when multiple people are working on the same website.

Obviously this is not a Dreamweaver problem... Dreamweaver only utilises the permissions feature found under right-click preferences in a PC and apple-I on a mac.

The tech guys came back with a solution:

"We propose to replace the existing MacPro running Mac OS X Server 10.5.2 Leopard with a previous model MacPro running Mac OS X Server 10.4 Tiger. It appears the way forward in solving this issue is to downgrade."

and

"It will have the same amount of RAM and storage.

It does have a slower processor, 2.GHz Quad compared to a 2.8GHz 8- Core. As a server, I don't think you will notice any difference in performance.

The big advantage is it can run Tiger, which should solve the access issues we are currently experiencing."

Any suggestions on this before we down grade...?

Why does your tech dept want to give you a different computer? You can run tiger just fine on your current machine.

why are you running server on a laptop?
