G'day cobbers,
We've been having a lot of trouble trying to get our one Mac (Powerbook
G3) to work smoothly with our NT4 Server-based network. Plugged into the
10BT socket and using DAVE, the Mac will happily mount the NT network
shares, display folder contents, copy stuff back and forth, and so on -
but continually crashes when trying to navigate through folders with the
Office 98 File|Open dialog. Desktop printing usually works, and so does
SMTP email to and from the Exchange server. We've had no joy achieving
dial-up access via DAVE, and lots of confusion from the Mac's network,
modem and Internet settings (enough to make the Windows equivalents seem
*almost* comprehensible). We also have ambitions to start sharing
diaries, preferably via Outlook 2000 & Outlook for Macintosh.
I'm meant to be the technical guy but know very little about any MacOS
beyond about 6.0, and the Mac user is adept but not technical. We've
tried about everything we can think of and have run out of ideas (as has
Thursby technical support), not to mention having other things to do. If
anyone knows a Mac/NT expert in the south-east of England (mid-Sussex to
be precise) who would be able to come in for a few hours and sort us
out in exchange for schmall scheque (OK, mountains of moolah), please
e-mail me.
