<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>2003 servers are indeed accessible from OS X. What is NOT accessible from OS X are win 2003 DFS volumes. OS X cannot resolve where DFS volumes are pointing. You need to get on a PC and see what the volume reference is and connect directly to that.<BR>

This is the third time I've tried to reply to this post. My previous two tries have not shown up in the archives as yet, so I'm trying again. <BR>
They're trying to access a windows 2000 server serving multible directories. I think I just need to get the correct SMB syntax to include the username and password in the url call; should it be in the form of "smb://Serverename/Directoryname:username:password" ? <BR>
