Just to bring this uo to date:
I still cannot get a winNT shared folder from Mac OS X.
The WinNT is SP 6, and runs under VPC emulation
I have tried every combination of the VPC/WinNT/OS X settings to no
avail.
I have tried wireless (DHCP) and ethernet PPPoE connections.
I have the best success with:
VPC Networking -- Shared Networking Using Sockets
WinNT TCP/IP Properties -- Obtain an IP address from A DHCP server
I am able to share the wireless/DSL connection with the Mac, e.g. I can
access the web with IE under WinNT
ipconfig returns:
IP Address.................. 192.168.131.81
Subnet Mask.............. 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway........ 192.168.131.254
From WinNT, I can successfully ping the IP and the gateway
From OS X I cannot ping either.
When I try and connect via SMB from OS X I get
IP Address........................ error = -36
Gateway Address............ does bad things to the Mac OS -- I get
a dimmed screen that
tells me to power off--
everything else is
disabled
So, it looks like the VPC/WinNT portion is working, but the Mac OS X
portion isn't.
BTW the VPC document is just about worthless -- a bunch of circular
links, peppered with "Ask your system administrator".
I wonder if this is a Jaguar thing?
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to setup a system where I can run MS-Access on the VPC/NT
machine and interface it with CFMX running on OS X.
OpenLink says this is possible with their software if I can get WinNT
and OS X talking.
TIA
Dick
