AFAIK you shouldn't have to be a domain member, just be able to supply a valid domain username and password when connecting, i.e. mydomain\myname and a password. Also you would be just connecting to a UNC share - Macs don't use drive letters, in fact I wouldn't even bother with them on Windows in this day and age, but that's a different discussion. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
