Connection to server via smb not working

Question

hi,
i have an old G4 iBook 10.3.9 that i'm using for school. to connect to our school server for course material, we were given smb log-in instructions from our it dept. when i put in the ip address, i get a prompt for the id and password, but i cannot get access. we tried logging on with my professor's macbook pro (10.5) and it worked flawlessly.
i've done all software updates and rechecked the procedure dozens of times, but i can't figure out why it's not working. if anyone has an idea, i'm all ears.
thanks,

created in my UTF-8 Mysql DB your table and inserted a record; the select shows:
SQL> select * from "movieclass"@mysql;
idClass
ClassName
123
H e l l o
As you can see the content is there, the "space" between the letters is related to unicode. Each character is interpreted by 2 bytes and SQL*Plus wrongly displays both. Using iSQLPLus or SQLDeveloper does not show the "space" between the letters.
Here the data type mapping:
SQL> desc "movieclass"@mysql;
Name Null? Type
idClass NUMBER(3)
ClassName NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(50)
What's the exact version of DG4ODBC you're using? 11.1.0.7?
According to the listener file you're using DG4ODBC on Windows. There was a high/low byte issue in DG4ODBC for Windows. This issue is fixed in 11.1.0.7 and a certain patch. So I recommend you to get first the 11.1.0.7 patchset (if you don't already have it installed):
6890831 Oracle Database Family: Patchset
11.1.0.7.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER 11.1.0.7.0
and then please apply also the latest patch:
8689191 Oracle Database Family: Patch
ORACLE 11G 11.1.0.7 PATCH 16 BUG FOR WINDOWS 32 BIT 11.1.0.7.0
There was a high/low byte issue
