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

I have exactly the same problem, worked fine until upgrading to Panther, the machine that is still on Jaguar connects no problem at all.
