Hi,

I have got an issue where my PowerMAC G5 running OSX10.3.9 when connecting
to a windows 2003 file server will just have the spinning wheel for a long
time and never connect. On all my other Windows 2000 Servers on the same
network and domain it can connect to the shares. But it won't work
connecting just to that server. Help Please!

Thanks,

AM

My first suspicion is that your server may have something wrong with its
DNS entry. What happens if you attempt using its IP address?

Are you trying to connect via AFP or SMB?

I am connecting VIA SMB. I will try connecting to the ip address.

Thanks
