Hi,
Are there any experts in the integration of Macs (OS 10.4.n) into a
Windows 2003 Server network with DFS (distributed file services?)
without the need for additional software such as DAVE.
Since moving from OS9 many years ago, I have enjoyed being able to
use my work network with the built in tools of OSX, and not having
to rely on the vagaries of DAVE which used to be very temperamental
and lock up my Mac quite frequently. Things worked well until two
weeks ago when IT upgraded the Windows server.
Now:
1) Mail will not pick up my Outlook account, however Entourage
will! Would prefer to only use one mail client if possible
especially as I have a lot of old emails archived in Outlook and is
more easily searched with Spotlight.
2) My network share is visible but empty from OSX, however will
work normally (albeit slowly) with DAVE added.
Any OSXperts out there who know how to fix this and could give me
some pointers, or if you make a living out of resolving such
problems, contact me off list with pricing details for your services.
TIA
John
Are you using smb through connect to server (+k) if not try: smb://
[mothership]/Foldername {enter} and follow the requests for passwords
etc. If no success try the actual ip address instead of the server name.
Also 10.4 supposedly uses encrypted passwords for smb and if admin
have set server with old text password this could be an issue.
But it looks like a mount point issue for the invisible files.
Also check if admin have domain set as an Active Directory, if so
then this needs to be configured within OS X apparently

and of course google is always a friend although I find alltheweb.com
slightly more specific these days?

Demise of IE5 and BBC School Website Help
Hi WAMUGgers Following on from yesterday's discussion about the demise of IE5 I came across an interesting situation. We've just 'kidnapped' our 3 Perth grandchildren and brought them up here to sunny Gero for Christmas. Clever Reg decides that they should all be able to access BBC Schools website and play the many good educational games therein. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ and specifically for this post http:// www.bbc.co.uk/schools/digger/. Accessing this from my PowerBook running Tiger and Safari 2.0.2 works well, but on the iMac and iBook, both running Panther and Safari 1.3.1 - no go. Click on Flick's Adventures, then Looping the Loop and up comes the message You are using an old browser version and we cannot effectively show you the Flash Movie. To play the game please upgrade your Netscape browser here or your Internet Explorer browser here. Clicking on the Netscape link http://wp.netscape.com/download/ 0730101/1-en_qual.html opens up the option to download Mac 68K (OS 7.6.1 and higher), Mac 68K and Mac PowerPC. This link allows me to download the latest version, 4.78! The Microsoft link www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=en leads me on a merry chase, eventiually ending with the option to download IE 5.2.3. Well I never! what a choice, especially with IE5 about to be shot between the eyes. Clever Reg then thinks, aha I'll get the latest Safari from Apple, only to get a stern lecture from the installer that it will only run in Tiger (NO I don't intend upgrading them both to Tiger with 4 big sleeps until Christmas!). So over to Firefox I go www.mozilla.com and download 1.5. It works perfectly out of the box, Panther and all. So the big question is, what's wrong with Safari 1.3.1? Is there a later Panther Safari update that can overcome this problem? What should I tell the nice people at the BBC archives? As I said, only 4 big sleeps until Christmas. Enjoy them! Reg, Elaine and 4 happy grandies (Don't leave our Geraldton one out!)
Re: Demise of IE5 and BBC School Website Help
Reg Two things spring to mind. It is possible that the BBC site detects the browser and makes an arbitrary decision that Safari 1.3.1 is too old and won't continue. In this case, try using Safari enhancer which activates the debug menu in Safari. Then you can reload the page pretending to be any browser type you like. If it still doesn't work then it might well be that it doesn't work with Safari 1.3.1 or ... You may need to upgrade the version of Flash that you have. Download the latest version and see if that helps.

BBC Schools website now seems to work with Safari 1.3.1. I set Debug/Useragent menu to Mozilla 1.1, Netscape 7.0 and IE 6.0 and all three loaded the Flash movies. www.lordofthecows.com/safari_enhancer.php for Tiger, Panther and Jaguar. My next plan was to download the latest Flash but it seems this is not yet immediately needed. Regards and thanks Reg
