Re: "Connect" button just doesn't

Hi Rob,

I assume the server you're connecting to is Windows and it's bound to
the AD.

Panther 10.3 didn't have any problems connecting to Windows shares.
You just needed a Kerberos ticket.

Tiger 10.4 usually worked with a Kerberos ticket, but it had problems
when the Windows share was a VM. In that case, I found AdmitMac was
necessary. I don't know why the VM was more difficult than a standard
share, but I witnessed several situations where this was the case. I
also found that using the hostname for the server address sometimes
worked when the IP address didn't. Give that a try.

Leopard 10.5.4 was the first version of OS X that doesn't require a
Kerberos ticket or AdmitMac to connect to a Windows share point. It's
reason enough to consider upgrading to Leopard.

I hope this helps,
Mark
