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.

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)
