- From the Finder, select the Go menu and select Connect to Server.
- In the Connect to Server window, enter smb://servername and click Connect to get a list of shares from the server.
- You may get an error saying the computer could not connect to the server because the username or password is not correct. This is either because SMB signing has not been disabled on the server or because Windows Server 2003 SP2 has been installed and the scalable networking options have not been disabled. To learn how to disable SMB signing on the SBS server, see “How to Disable SMB Signing in SBS 2003” (http://simultaneouspancakes.com/Lessons/2004/12/27/how-to-disable-smb-signing-in-sbs-2003/ ). To disable the scalable networking additions of Service Pack 2, see KB 936594 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936594 ) and follow Step 4 in http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2007/04/24/common-networking-issues-after-applying-windows-server-2003-sp2-on-sbs.aspx.
- If communication is set properly on the SBS server, you will see a list of available shares. Select the desired share and click OK.
- Once you select the share, the share will open a new window on the desktop. It will also appear as a volume in the navigation tree.
- In the Connect to Server window, you can also specify the full path to a share (i.e., smb://servername/users) and you can save paths on the network to the favorites list by clicking the plus sign next to the server address when you have the path entered correctly.
