TICKET ARCHIVE -> Mounting a Drive

marcy72 - Aug 30, 2005 - 10:33 am

First a little history. I am the only MAC on a PC network.

Our IT person created a new drive on a server. I cannot see it. Is that a MAC problem or a Network problem? He says he created the access the same as all the other drives on the network. I can access and/or see all the others, but not this one. He cannot resolve the problem. Do you know the answer?

Thanks for your help.

Marcy,

'Is that a MAC problem or a network problem?'

Well the easy answer to this is Yes. Unfortunatly that doens't help you much. We may have to do this in a couple stages....

What version of Mac Os are you running?

If it OSX, try going up to the Finder toolbar, select Go, and select:
'Connect to Server'

In the top pop-up box that appears type:
smb://servername/sharename

(servername should be the name of the server, and sharename would be the name of that new drive).

and click connect. It should ask for your username, password and workgroup. Enter you username and password and click OK.

You should now be connected... although something tells me we're not going to be that lucky. Let me know what happens when you try this.

Thank you for your reply, however we figured it out. Our IT person had named the drive putting a space between the names. Once he eliminated the space, my MAC saw the drive.

Thanks so much!
