12 hours...no result -- Mounting Network Disk

I am writing to you in a frustrated mood.  But fortunately still sane.
I am trying to remote access my Airpot Exrtreme usb drive on windows 7 and mac lion.
I feel I am almost there, just can't get the little details.
I am confused with the port mapping part of Airport Extreme.  I am not sure to use "personal file sharing", "windows sharing", "web sharing".
Also, in windows, do I just mount the drive or do I need to add a "network place"
I followed the instructions here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15283514#15283514
You do not need the AirPort Utility installed on your computer in order to access a shared drive from either a remote location or on the local network. This utility's primary purpose is for administering the base station.
You will need to both enable File Sharing and configure the AirPort for Port Mapping. It is pretty much described step-by-step in the article you referenced in the beginning of your post.
Ok, so let's go over the basic steps to see if anything was missed.
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn, and then, note the IP address shown.
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
Click Connect.
You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
Click Connect.

  • User permission on SMB mounted network disk

    I have a Buffalo TeraStation automounted via "NetInfo Manager" in my G5. But only the user that I used to mount the disk, and the root user can access the mounted disk. Other users in the same machine can't get permission to the network disk.
    Does anyone know how do I add the permission for other users? Thanks!
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Ok found a sollution, i tried a couple of things, it boils down to this.
    login as admin user
    1. demote the network user to a local user,
         use workgroup manager for it use export in menu to export user from LDAP
         import to Local directory, reset the password and delete the LDAP user.
    2. you chould now be able to localy login to the account, do that.
    3. open the terminal and run the following commands (probably need sudo for it and you need to change <username> to the user you want to change)
         chmod -R -N /Users/<username>/
         chown -R <username>:staff /Users/<username>
         chmod -R 700 /Users/<username>
    4. check that every thing in you're account is working again as should.
    5. promote local user to network user.
    use workgroup manager for it use export in menu to export user from Local
         import to LDAP directory, reset the password and delete the Local user.
    this did the trick for me, hope it helps.

  • Mounting Network Disk at Startup - How to do?

    Hello,
    I would like to get advice, how to mount a Network Disk directly at startup (it is no problem to do this by using the Finders GoTo-Menu...)
    Is this done easiest using an AppleScript or is there another better possibility?
    Thanks in advance for your advices
    Andreas

    Do you mean startup (i.e. when the machine boots, even if no users are logged in)?, or login (e.g. when the user logs in a share mounts on their desktop)?
    There are different options depending on quite what you want.

  • Cannot open mounted network disk

    I have 2 Macs on my home's LAN (wired). My G4 Gigabit Ethernet (dual 500mhz) can access the MacBook Pro (running 10.4.6) across the network, no problem. The MBP can access the G4, even mount the hard disk, but when I try to open the disk it opens a blank window and then hangs the finder; only a power cycle will fix it.
    I've tried repairing permissions on both machines; all the network settings look fine. Any suggestions as to what else to try would be welcome. Thanks.
    G4 Gigabit Ethernet Mac OS X (10.4.7)

    Hi, John--thanks for the suggestion. I saw several mentions of SharePoints before I posted my question, but it wasn't clear that it was what I needed. I'll go back and take a closer look now, and see how it does.
    Thanks again,

  • Multiple mounting of network disk not wanted

    I use a MacPro with 10.5.8 and a LaCie network disk. On this machine are several users which I want to give shared access to the information on the LaCie disk.
    I kept having trouble with access and found that each user mounts a different device (/Volumes/disk, /Volumes/disk-1, /Volumes/disk-2, etc.). I have had several months of discussions with LaCie help desk without any results and have given up on them.
    A possible side effect of the current method of connecting is also that each user has to re-connect after each login
    I have looked at the forum entries for multiple mounts and these all seem to be connected to partitioned disks, which is not the case here. And I frankly don't understand enough of these posts to use that information for this specific question.
    How to set up a transparent and reliable disk connection with a single mount?
    Regards,
    Bob

    Hey there!
    Well now your post is over one year old but recently I had the same problem.
    Solution was what you were thinking: Redirect the path. But where??? I searched the registry and there you have it:
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common 8.0\Media Cache
    There's a key called FolderPath. Set that to a local drive and Premiere should start again.
    btw adobe: that's really a bad bad bug or misbehaviour. if something is not working software should ask for another solution instead of just crash...

  • Word for mac 2011 keyboard commands hang when network disk mounted

    After much trial and error, I have found that, for my system, at least, MS Word for Mac 2011 hangs on keyboard commands when a network disk is mounted on my desktop.
    Just wanted to alert all who get the beach ball when use keyboard commands in MS Word.
    Symptom was that Cmd-C would take 8-13 seconds or so to copy 1 word, versus immediate when using menu commands. Same with Cmd-V paste. Also, opening a document took much longer.
    Once I ejected network disk, problem disappeared.
    Hopefully this will save someone else the time I spent tracking down the issue. I'd still love to know the root problem, though, as I prefer to have a remoe disk mounted on desktop while I work, and now I can't.

    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

  • Auto-Mounting Network Shares/Disk Images

    Hi,
    I'd like to share how I solved my problem with auto-mounting a network disk image/folder share to be used as a custom library/location for Aperture 3.xx. I can now either reference the master photos from the network or have it copy to this disk image volume on the network, although it might be better to have it copy to the disk image volume, so one can move it around as a file later. I researched hard over these forums and internet resources and discovered what I thought was the best way to accomplish this. Initially, I found right away that Aperture doesn't allow you to create a library over your network drive or a home server such as mine, unless it is partitioned/formatted to Mac OS. This wasn't acceptable for me as I also run Windows 7 PCs that need to utilize the network folder shares, as well.
    I don't understand why I don't have this problem using iPhoto 2011, and do with Aperture 3.0, which is a far more expensive application. Anyhow, I read a little about NFS, but didn't know how to implement this or if it required the Mac Server and/or a non-built in application, it probably isn't compatible with windows. So, I found that by creating a .DMG disk image file, as a partitioned/formatted Mac OS file in Disk Utility, and saving it to the network folder of my choosing, did the trick.
    Steps I used to accomplish this:
    -Go to Disk Utility and create "New Image"
    -Select format w/ MacOSX Extended(journaled) and choose "single partition/GUID" type (or whatever you want)
    -Enter a custom size of your disk image (ex in 1GB or 1TB). Click "Create"
    * I created this locally 1st and then I copied it over the network, to the network folder/subfolder on my HP Mediasmart Home Server EX495. I found that creating it over the network took too long and would crash Disk Utility.
    -After it's copied to your desired location over the network folder, open Automator.
    -choose "Application" workflow, double-click to add "Get Specified servers". Enter location of your server (ex smb://hpserver/)
    -Then add "Connect to Servers",
    -Then add "Get specified Finder Items". Click Add, and locate your disk image file over the network. (this will automatically add the location path. For ex. smb:/hpserver/photos/aperture_library.dmg)
    -Then add "Mount Disk Image".
    -Then test workflow by clicking on "Run" button on top right of window. If your
    Finder->Preferences->General settings on your Mac is set to show "Connected Servers" on your desktop, your disk image will appear on you desktop.
    -Finally, save this Application workflow as an application by clicking File menu->Save As. Save this to your documents folder area.
    -To have your Mac auto-mount your disk image automatically when you login:
    ->go to System Preferences->Accounts->your "Admin account name"->Login Items
    ->click "+" sign and navigate to the Documents folder, to where the Automator application you saved
    ->click Add. Once done, it will appear on the Login Items area. You can choose to hide it, if you want by clicking the checkbox.
    -Now Restart your Mac, and now your disk image should auto-mount.
    Hope this helps, as it helped me solve the issue. Too bad one must have to program this and it is not native on MacOSX.

    Too many steps. Do this:
    1. Go to Disk Utility and create a disk image with the following properties:
    Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Partitions: Hard Disk
    Image Format: Sparse bundle disk image
    2. Copy the image you just created to the share on the network where it should reside.
    3. Open System Preferences, and click on the Accounts icon
    4. Select *your account* and click on the Login Items tab
    5. Drag the icon for the disk image from the network share into the Login Items list
    If a login item is something on a network share, it will reconnect to the share it's located on automatically first.
    If a login item is a disk image, the disk image will be opened and mounted.
    It's important that the image is a journaled one because if it isn't, being disconnected from it while writing would be potentially disastrous.
    It's important that the image is a sparsebundle for two reasons: sparsebundles only take up as much space as they need (e.g., a 1Tb sparsebundle with 100M of data takes up about 100M of space), and they also break the disk down into smaller files. If the underlying filesystem on your network share is FAT32, then no file can go over 4Gb. If you use a sparsebundle, of course, there's no practical limit to how large the disk image can get. Also, it can speed up certain types of backup procedures.
    I suggest using partition type "Hard Disk" instead of "1 partition GUID" because, as a disk image, there's no sense in having a partition table or making it bootable (because you can't boot from the image).

  • Vista PC's connect to network but cannot mount TC disks!!!!

    I will start by saying that I have never had a problem with connectivity between my iMac and Macbook.
    I have 2 PCs in the house running Vista. Both can connect wirelessly to the TC and access the internet through this without a problem. However when trying to connect the disks (TC disk and also one connected USB drive) I get an error.
    Error reads "Unknown User, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the Disk's administrator (67)." I know the password I entered is correct.
    TC firmware version is 7.4.2
    File sharing is enabled.
    Secure shared disks with TC password
    AirPort Disk guest access is Read and Write
    WIndows workgroup is set the same as on the Vista machines.
    WINS Server is blank.
    The frustrating thing is that it used to work just fine and it appears that this is a recent event (the kids have been complaining for a while and I have only just now got around to looking at it seriously).
    When I first purchased my TC 9 months ago we were a Windows only household. There was never any problem with connecting to the drives. It appears that the connectivity has got progressively worse over time.
    At one stage I dumped the Windows AirPort utility and just tried to manually map the TC and other drive within windows (i.e. select Map Network drive, enter IP address of TC and then select the shared name) This worked for a while but now windows will not even see the shared drives. The TC is visible on the network considering it is the point where the two PCs connect.
    Does anyone have any advice on how to get the two Vista PCs to connect?

    OK. I have had a closer look at things and believe I am closer to identifying the source of the problem.
    It appears that I am unable to use the Airport Agent to mount the disks because of the (so-called) "smart" firewall in Norton 360.
    If I disable the Norton firewall I am able to get the disks mounted (mapped).
    Now I do not want to have to permanently disable the firewall just so I can access the disks.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to configure the firewall so that it allows communication between the Vista PC and the TC? (i.e. any specific ports to open, protocols to allow, etc.)
    It is also interesting to note that I get the same problem is I manually map the disks from within Windows Explorer (i.e. no problem with firewall disabled but constant invalid password with firewall active).

  • Help needed with using network disk with iMovie with NFS or AFP

    Hi,
    I have iMac with iMovie08 that talks to a remote disk hosted under Linux over a gigabit network using SMB (Samba). It all works ok and I have done a few movies.
    Now, I have done some tests with NFS and AFP (AppleTalk) and it seems that these are much faster than SMB.
    I then stopped the Samba server and proceeded to setup NFS and also AFP
    First NFS,
    So I then exported my directory using NFS and I can see everything from my Mac (correct permissions too since I made both user and group IDs the same...). The problem is that when I launch iMovie it shows me the Volume for my external networked disk but it shows it with a little triangle with yellow exclamation and it does not show any of the events (>500GB of events).
    If I stop NFS and then switch to AFP I get the same behavior. That is, everything from the Mac works on the AFS mounted disk (copying files back and forth, etc....) but I can't see the contents of the disk from within iMovie
    I changed permissions so that anybody can read/write/execute (although there are files that have an '@' sign at the end when I do ls -l on them and I can't remember what that means....)
    If I stop NFS and then go back to SMB (Samba) then I am back to a working configuration.
    Can I use NFS or AFP with iMovie? What exactly does the yellow triangle mean?
    Thanks

  • How do I mount a disk image that won't open?

    I have an external drive Samsung 500 GB that was failing. I think my MacBook Air (10.6.8) caused it to fail because it wouldn't allow me to eject the disk even though I forced quit all programs. I eventually had to just unplug the drive and this caused the external disk to fail as it had not been ejected properly. Not my fault. It's the MBA's fault for not letting me eject the disk. Now the Samsung disk won't mount properly and I get a message that the drive is failing and I should save the data.
    Anyhow, I used the free version of Data Rescue 3 to try and save the data on the failing Samsung 500 GB drive and move it onto a brand new Toshiba 1 TB drive.
    I was unable to use the normal scanning function of Data Rescue 3 as the hardware of the drive was too damaged, and so I used the clone function on Data Rescue 3 to clone the data onto a non-failing hard drive, with the intent of restoring the data later.
    I am not sure if I was successful in making the disk image. It hung up at the 99.6% point for about 12 hours when I decided to give up on it, and I shut down Data Rescue so I could eject the hard disks.
    However, it would not let me do it. I tried force ejecting but still I could not eject the disks.
    I ended up just unplugging the drives. I think the Samsung drive died almost completely then because it made a whole lot of clicking noises after that (it was only making a few clicking noises before that).
    Anyhow, I plugged the Toshiba 1 TB drive into the computer again and used Data Rescue to scan the drive with the disk image on it to see if I could detect files on that drive.
    It opened up the structure and I was able to see that most or all of the files were there (abbout 450GB of data) just from seeing the information about the files in the structure tree - the labels of the files (file type labels such as jpg, mp4 etc) and the size of the files, although I could not open up the files to check all of them.
    I tested out the restore function of Data Rescue by downloading one file (<10MB) file. I am using the free version and can download one file for free to test things out.
    It worked and I was able to save that file onto a second external drive (Western Digital 500 GB) I had plugged in. I had bought this drive just to do the data rescue.
    So I think the files are salvageable and the disk image is OK.
    However, when I tried to open the disk image in Disk Utility, by opening it as the source and choosing the WD drive as the destination I could not open it. I got an error message. I can't remember what the message was.
    I tried just opening the disk image in Finder by just clicking on the disk image but it won't mount.
    Is that because my hard drive doesn't have enough space? My Desktop on the MBA only has 12 GB free and the WD drive has only 500 GB on it even though the disk image is about 501 GB.
    I don't know why the disk image is that size when the failing Samsung drive only had 450 GB of data on it.
    Anyway, what should I do to mount the disk image?
    I want to mount the disk image so that I can copy or move the files from it to another external drive so that I can save those files.
    Is it because the WD is only 500 GB or does it mean there's a problem with the disk image I made?
    Should I try Carbon Clone Copy? I use that to make backups of my MBA internal HDD though I have never used it for opening or making disk images.
    I have never dealt with disk images before except for dmg files of applications downloaded from the internet.
    I am trying to avoid using Data Rescue 3 as I have to pay for it and if there is a free option, such as Disk Utility, CCC or other, I want to try it to restore the data in the disk image.
    Sadly, I think the Samsung drive is ruined beyong repair as it's making a lot of clicking sounds and doesn't mount properly in Disk Image and I get a message that it's beyond repair or something like that in Disk Utility.
    So I am relying on the disk image I made on the Toshiba drive to restore my files.
    (I think it was the last movie file that caused the problem because it was when I was trying to copy it onto the Samsung external drive, all the problems began - hanging up when copying it, not being able to eject the Samsung disk, causing hardware issues on Samsung disk and getting warning messages on Disk Utility.)
    BTW, I learned how to eject a drive when it won't eject the normal way, I have to use command window and type in commands, but that's another post ....
    Any advice?
    I am thinking of going out and buying a second 1 TB external drive so that I have a disk with enough space to open the 501GB disk image on it, just in case that was the sole problem.
    However, I am not sure that is the case, and I think there may be a problem with the disk image or I am not going the right way about opening it.
    Thanks for any advice.

    I think I've found the solution to this problem.
    http://superuser.com/questions/19426/im-unable-to-mount-a-dmg-getting-a-no-mount able-filesystems-error
    I am following the instructions here:
    I ran into a similar situation. I did what simonair suggested and I received a message in Terminal that Volume mounted successfully. However It did not help me access the mounted Volume neither was I able to confirm the mounted Volume. Nor was I able to mount the image using Disk Drill or even scan through. Nothing succeeded.
    Here is what I did to solve my problem. I see that in this post some suggested that we should convert name.dmg to writable file. I used the command from Terminal to convert but was not successful. INSTEAD alternatively, I used Disk Utility, attached the Volume (yes I got the same message again, ''no mountable system files'' however, Disk Utility nevertheless attached the image, which I was able to do before anyways. This time, I selected it and then clicked New image, and then selected image format read/write, not the compressed option. I created a new image. This time this image was writable however, it still would not mount using Simonair's solution. However, this time I was able to scan it with Disk Drill with exact file locations and folder hierarchy as I had. Recovering all from thereon was a breeze. Just remember: when you create new image of an attached volume and chose not compressed but read/write, you need to have a disk with exact amount of space that totals the total space allocated within that name.dmg file (not the amount of space the data takes). Mine was huge, and luckily I had an external disk with enough space to do that and it took about 5 hours for about 400GB of disk allocation. Good luck.
    And so far it seems to be working. Even though the volume is grayed out on the left side of Disk Utility, I am still able to select it as the source for making a new disk image. I chose Read and Write and no compression.
    The only thing I might be doing differently is that instead of choosing the disk image as the source, I chose the volume as the source. The volume is grayed out, but the disk image is not.
    It seems to be working all right. Keep my fingers crossed.
    If this doesn't work, I will use Data Recovery 3 as a last resort.

  • Mount UFS disk not working

    Hi,
    I am new to Solaris so this may be something simple I have missed. I am having troubles mounting a MO (magnetic Optical) disk on my Solaris 9 X 86 workstation.. I have just loaded the Solaris operating system, in the workstation I have an internal MO drive connected to an internal PCI SCSI card. I know the drive is working because I can format and create a newfs on disks, then mount read and write to the disks I have just created. I mount the disk by using the following command.
    # mount /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /mnt/mo
    When I try to mount a disk MO formatted on another Solaris system using the same command I get an error
    # mount /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /mnt/mo
    mount: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 is not this fstype
    I have tried to change the fstype to autofs in the vfstab file but this would not work. I have a Linux box with the same hardware installed and I can mount both MO disks (mine and ones formatted on other systems) by using the following command:
    mount -t -ufs -o ufstype=sun /dev/sda /mnt/mo
    I can read and write to both MO disks in Linux (after complilng the kernel with WR support for UFS in Linux) but not in Solaris.
    Can anyone give me hints as to why I can not mount the disks from other Solaris machines?
    Do I need to add other file system support?
    Can I do some checks on the MO disk to make sure it is compatible?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Thanks for your responce.
    I have 2 new solaris X86 boxes which I have just built. Our customer sends us data on MO disks formatted in UFS from their solaris 8 SPARC boxes. If what you are saying is true, it may not be possiable to read the MO disks on my X86 solaris box then.
    All of the disks I am trying are 512 bytes/sector (4.1GB or 2.3GB).
    I have not tried Solaris 10 but if may be worth a go before I go out and buy a SPARC station.
    When I do the following commands this is the output I get:
    On the UFS formatted on a SPARC station
    #fdisk -w /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0p0
    # (returns with no errors. I also tried s2 instead of s2)
    #prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s2
    * /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s2 partition map
    * Dimensions:
    * 512 bytes/sector
    * 31 sectors/track
    * 4 tracks/cylinder
    * 124 sectors/cylinder
    * 32047 cylinders
    * 32045 accessable cylinders
    * Flags:

    #fstpy /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2
    Unknown_fstype (no matches)
    Drive formatted on my X86 box
    results were teh same exept:
    # fstyp /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2
    UFS
    In conclusion does this mean that we can not read the disks formatted on the SPARC boxes?
    Do you know of anything else I can try?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can't Reconnect to Network Disk

    I am to to Apple. When I first setup my iMac, I was able to attach to my network disk. Subsequent attempt to attach to the network disk result in a message that says the server does not support guest logins. Does anyone know how I can reattach?

    I suddenly have this problem after no changes were made to either my Mac or XP server configurations. Bizarre. None of the normal restarts or creating new users accounts is helping. Now the Mac window just displays the message 'connecting...' indefinitely.

  • Mounting Airport Disk - It's Only Showing Up as Shared Folder??

    I have a USB drive attached to the Airport Extreme Base Station. Right now it's only listed as a shared folder, and I'm at a loss.
    In order to see it in Finder, I have to select the AEBS under the Shared tab. Once I do this I see my hard drive, but it's listed as a shared folder.
    I really want to see the hard drive as a mounted network drive, but can't figure out how to do it.
    Please let me know if anyone has some thoughts. Thank you.

    I think your airport disk is working perfectly. The problem here is that you are used to Tiger and expect that once anything is mounted it appears on your desktop. This behavior has been changed in Leopard - the network drive no longer appears on the desktop - this is intentional. As I tried to explain before the airport disk IS automatically mounted by OSX. It's mount point is actually /Volumes (just like it was in Tiger). The only difference is that instead of creating an alias on the desktop - the alias is placed under the shared folders tab in finder.
    I already showed you how to create a link on the desktop if that is what you really want.
    I don't understand exactly what the problem you are having is??? You can browse all of the files on your airport disk right???

  • Mount network drives

    Hi,
    How can I create a script that will connect to a windows server with a username and password and mount network drives on my desktop, and how do I set this script to automatically run when I login?

    Hey guys. I'm glad I found this post. I'm trying for the same result. I currently work at a school in which every teacher has a computer that connects to the local network by signing in with a username and password. However, my computer has fried and they can't get me a new one until... well... whenever. I've brought my MacBook Pro in and have connected to the internet which is great but I need to access a network (H:) drive in order to update progress reports and report cards.
    I don't know much and the IT guy is impossible to reach and hasn't returned any emails. I just need to connect to that one folder. I was assuming and ftp or and smb would do the trick but I have no idea what server I would need to try and access through the finder, applescript, or terminal. I did an ipconfig on another teachers computer and got a few ip's as well as the folder's location on the network 'server_4\folder' (H:) if that helps. I've tried connected by ftp through the finder to all of the ip's and have gotten an error saying that I can't connect. I have also did a whatsmyip.com search for my root ip address and have tried the same approach. For some reason, it connects by says my username and password were incorrect.
    Well that's about everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
