Click on Go->Connect to Server
Type the path to your H drive in the format
smb://servername/share/loc
If this doesnt work, its possible that your administrator has not turned off "network server: digitally sign communications (always)", which is the default nature of 2003 server. You must do this to be able to connect from any machine other than a windows machine. To do this: get your admin to follow this kbase article: http://support.microsoft.c
From your Network Administrator ... get the IP address and share path of the H Drive on the network
On OSX .. In the Finder .. select GO : Connect to Server
Enter smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/SHAR
It will prompt you for your network username and password then the Shared Folder will appear in your Finder Window as a Network Volume.
You should read this article from Microsoft about how to fully authenticate against AD and how to configure everything.

The new Leopard 10.5 has some great new Windows Networking functions built-in to the Finder.
Just to clarify ...
You are using the "Connect to Server" smb:// protocol?
IF you just enter smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx enter username and password it should show you any shares you have permission to view.
If it is not accepting the password .. check you've followed the support article highlighted by cammj

Hi there,
Try this out:
1. Click on the Go menu in the Finder
2. Enter the address of the shared drive beginning with "smb://" .
(i.e: smb://www.yourdomain.com/f
3. Enter your username and password when asked.
4. You should then have a new icon on your desktop, that's your mapped network drive.
