They must not have their server set to high/max security then. I work at a
university and the Macs cannot access any share on our Win2003 server
without third party software to allow OSX to comply with required security
authentication protocols. If you're sys admin has lower security hurdles you
can access from a Mac. There's good third party software which we were
forced to buy called Admit Mac <http://www.thursby.com> to gain access to
our Win2003 shares.
