Use the Go->Servers option, or something like that - I don't have my iBook in front of me at the moment. When you do that, type the server name, and connect to the server. To see the full list of shares, you may need to click the 'Authenticate' button, and give a valid username/password pair for the Samba server. Once you do this, the full list of shares should be viewable via a drop down list. Once you pick one of the shares and then click the 'Connect' button, it will be mounted as a volume on your desktop. Alternatively, you can use command line tools such as smbclient, and I am sure that the 'mount' command has syntax for mounting an SMB share into the /Volumes directory hierarchy on OS X. I hope that helps..... like I said, I am running off memory here, but I have mounted my Samba server shares many times on my iBook, using Finder.... -- /------------------------------------------------- | Jim Morris | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | AIM: JFM2001 \------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
