Re: Mac OSX Active Directory Connection

Hi Barry!

Do you mean \\home\b.johns$ rather than \home\b.johns? A UNC path should
start with two backslashes.

Your Mac's hard drive appearing as your home is an indication that the
Mac can't find the share. Is home the name of your server? The syntax
should be \\servername\sharename where b.johns$ would be a folder shared
from the server.

As a test, you should be able to connect to the share from a Windows
machine as well.

Hope this helps! bill
