After grabbing the Cisco VPN client, I was able to connect to the University from my Mac, and route my internet through them. However I should also be able to access the disks on the server from my Mac this way. They're running Novell software, if it matters.
I was hoping the smb features in OSX would do the trick. But whatever I type in the Command-K dialog I get errors. Then again, I don't really have a clue what to type.
The school website only hold help for Windows users, where they are instructed to go Start -> Run... and then just type in what look like the name of a workgroup (more precise "\\abbor_w" - where I just take it the w is for workgroup) (giving access to several disks). smb://abbor_w on the Mac doesn't do the trick.
I logged in on one the comps at school today to check what names would show up locally, and the regular "my computer" window didn't show any workgroup names, I think. But of course it listed all the disks. Like "Public on 'Abbor\Sys' (I:)" Now is Public the name of the share and Abbor being the name of the disk? Windows is so confusing :)
Any help on mounting these remote disks on my Mac desktop is highly appreciated!
