I think I am in the right area.<br />
<br />
My IT dept has sorta left me hanging on this one. I have two G4s running OS 10.3.3 and I am trying to network to our Windows NT Server. I am running TCP/IP and see all the drives, I get the SMB/CIFS Authentification notice and fill it out, however, they are only alias and I get the message &quot;the original item could not be found&quot;. <br />
<br />
The strange thing is it did work once on one of the macs, when it was first connected, after powerdown it has not connected again.<br />
<br />
Any help?<br />

Mac can only see alias of drives on network

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
