There are (at least) a couple ways you can get to yoru filer -- First, if you have NFS enabled, since Mac OSX is unix under the covers, you can NFS mount volumes as needed.
Next, you can go to the Mac OS Finder and from the "Go" menu, select "connect to server" and then type in:
cifs://your_filer_here/sharename/
I've been using both methods for a while and they seem to work, no problem.

I bet your filer is in a windows workgroup (?) what if the filer is in a windows domain (win2k native). I know there is a way to call a share with smbmout (or pretty the same with mount -t smb) :
smbmount //fjall/test /data/test -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test
when trying what you advice from the costumer Mac OS X, we get some cifs.trace_login output as follow (forget about the error code, I didn't well note it) : << [CIFSAuthen]: Login attempt by WORKGROUP\tridge from GENGHIS [CIFSAuthen]: ...error 0000XX... ...
Some kind of password miss-encrypted i think (not encrypted, it works well in workgroup, but in domai it should be encrypted)...
fanku again

Hi toasters,
we got a costumer running several Mac OS X machines and having a Win2K native domain inside wich a Filer is registerd.
I would like to know if there is any known way to enable Mac OS X machines to connect to the Filer as a casual CIFS clients (being able make profit of the Windows user's particularity as home dir and so on). I know Mac OS X use a core samba layer to access CIFS ressources but I don't know how to configure it - if it possible - to join a Win2K domain (the one here is a native one, but if it is mandatory that tha mode being mixte, it would be okay too).
Fanx a lot in advance :o)
