Apple Mac OS X Server (version 10.2.3 or later) - Manual (Page 274)

274 Chapter 5
Connecting to the Apple File Server in Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9
Apple file service does not support AppleTalk connections, so clients need to use TCP/IP to
access file services. You can use AppleTalk to find Apple file servers, but the connection must
be made using TCP/IP.
To connect to the Apple file server in Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9:
1 Open the Chooser and click Server IP Address.
2 Enter the IP address or the name of the server in the window that appears and click Connect.
3 Enter your user name and password, then click Connect.
4 Select the volume you want to use and click OK.
Setting up a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 Client to Mount a Share Point Automatically
As an alternative to using the automount feature of AFP, FTP, or NFS, clients can set their
computers to mount server volumes automatically.
To set a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 client computer to mount a server volume
automatically:
1 Use the Chooser to mount the volume on the client computer.
2 In the select-item dialog that appears after you log in, check the server volume you want to
mount automatically.
Supporting Windows Clients
Mac OS X Server supports the native Windows file sharing protocol, Server Message Block
(SMB). SMB is also known as Common Internet File System (CIFS). Mac OS X Server comes
with built-in browsing and name resolution services for your Windows client computers. You
can enable Windows Internet Naming Service ( WINS) on your server, or you can register
with an existing WINS server.
Windows services in Mac OS X Server also provide Windows Master Browser and Domain
Master Browser services. You do not need a Windows server or a primary domain controller
on your network to allow Windows users to see your server listed in the Network
Neighborhood window. Also, your Windows clients can be located on a subnet outside of
your server’s subnet.
See “Ensuring the Best Cross-Platform Experience” on page 248 for information about setting
up a dedicated share point for Windows users, and “Windows User Password Validation” on
page 249 for information about different techniques of validating Windows user passwords.
TCP/IP
In order to have access to Windows services, Windows client computers must be properly
configured to connect over TCP/IP. See your Windows networking documentation for
information on TCP/IP configuration.
