Windows 2000 connectivity in Panther

[James Calderbank]

I have a Windows 2000 laptop which is configured as a "corporate 
standard" (i.e. I cannot change workgroups or much else on the 
machine).  I have shared the main data directory under Windows as 
"Documents".  From Mac OS 10.1.x onwards, I have been able to go to the 
finder and "Connect to Server" typing in smb://PCName/Documents and 
have connected fine from the Mac to the PC laptop shared directory.  
This continued to work through many Mac OS X upgrades through to 
10.2.8.

Once I upgraded to Panther 10.3.2, this no longer works, and fails with 
an Error Code -36 (a standard cannot find what you need error).  In the 
finder, I can see the PC laptop in the Network folder but fail to 
connect as usual with the same error as before.

I have spoken to Apple support, who give me the usual "Windows, not our 
problem" answer, even thought the only change has been from 10.2.8 to 
10.3.2

I am at my wits end with this one.

Anyone got any ideas or advice?

Many Thanks

Jim Calderbank
