Sounds like you want to mount a network drive on your mac that is being served from a PC. I do that fairly often but you'll need some key bits of info. First a lot of Windows folks just refer to the K drive or whatever letter their admin set up to automount a network drive to. That letter doesn't help you any. What you need is the DNS name of the machine. It should be something like
bigserver.office.mycorp.com To connect, form the finder do Apple-K for Connect to server. The protocol user is SMB so the Server Address would be smb://bigserver.office.mycorp.com and then hit the Connect button. After that it should prompt you for your windows domain username and password. Next it will give you a list of file shares you have access to. Pick the one you want and it should show up on your desktop just like any other disk drive. Note that you can specify the share as part of the URL this way: smb://bigserver/office.mycorp.com/accounting/ which saves a step. Hope this helps.
