What happens if you try? You should be able to select Finder > Go and enter smb://<server name>/<share name> and it ought to work. You need to use the right credentials: NT username and password.
Your computer may also have to be known as part of the network, depending on how your system is set up.
I have not installed services for Apple on the server yet. It also serves for our accounting system and I REALLY do not want to mess anything up there.
Is this NT, as in NT4? SFM on NT4 is Appletalk only, no appleshare/ip. It, as they say on Slashdot, is 'teh suxxor'. SFM on Win2K or Win2k3 is a LOT better. For NT your best solution is SMB or DAVE.
Anyone have any ideas here? Or am I just pushing my beige past what its' brain can handle?
This PC running the CAD app...Is it running XP?
If so you can use Microsoft Remote Desktop Client on it. (with Win2K you need to enable Terminal Services, and only Admin users can log on. You may also need Win2K server for the terminal services stuff.)
Anyhow, there's an option in RDC to allow local drives on the Mac be visible to the remote computer.
RDC rocks as an admin tool. The client is a free download from Microsoft, and it's even usable over a 56k modem connection.
It really kicks butt all over VNC.
Upon some googling I find that the error -47 thing is pretty common, and it seems to mean that the Mac thinks that the share is already mounted.

Suggests logging off and back on (on the Mac).
I don't get this error, but at times I do get really bad lag times connecting ti windows shares. (I'm talking like 5 minutes lag times!) We're also not using NT but Win2K, too, so it could be an NT thing.
I think something's pooched on the Mac side smb stuff then, since restarting the Mac seems to cure the problem
