I have a intel powered Macbook running Leapord and i am trying to connect to my server at work. We are running Windows server 2003. When i plug my Macbook into the LAN it automaticaly connects to the internet, i also have set up our IP printer and can print, however i can see the server nor share files. I'm not sure why, or what i need try next.
