Since our server is pure wintel operating system, I had to configure my 
network prefs to suit the server demands. What we did was simply 
feeding the server name and login password into my shared folder in our 
server. From system prefs and network should be found required fields 
to be filled with windowz information.
Now on those shared resources are in my dock, where pointing those they 
get the authentication automatically from my keyring. Works very 
fluently and seemless with our network at the headoffice. Connection is 
tcp-ip cable.
