Hi John!
What are you using in your connect string to the server? Does it begin with
"afp://" or "smb://"?
AFP is the Apple Filing Protocol and will work with your server's File
Services for Macintosh. Use this over SMB when you have down-level Mac
clients that can only use AFP. You'll avoid the "appearance" of file
corruption when exchanging files between the two types of clients.
SMB is the Server Message Block protocol and will work with your server's
Windows networking services.
If you're using SMB, you'll need to edit the default Security Policy for
either your server or the domain to allow non-signed clients to connect.
You'll find this under Local Policies --> Security Options --> Microsoft
Network client: Digitally sign communications (always). The SMB protocol
included with Panther does not support signing.
Hope this helps! bill
