Adding a network share on a windows network to a mac

January 26, 2009

One of the guys here at work has a really cool looking Mac and needed to access some shared folders on the network. So after much head scratching we finally figured it out.

Follow these steps:

  1. On the dock click the Finder icon
  2. Click the Go menu and then Connect to Server
  3. Making sure you have a network login type and the name of the server you want to log in to
    smb://ServerName/ShareName
    Alternately you can also just type the ServerName by itself and when you click connect/OK you will see a list of shares to connect to. Just pick the one you need.

Hopefully this helps you mac fanboys out there. ;)

Got something to say?
