Connecting to file servers

To connect to a file server such as NTM:
  1. From the desktop, click on the Go menu. Select Connect to Server.
  2. In the Address: field, type smb:// followed by the name of the server you wish to use (e.g., smb://NTM). Click Connect.
  3. The SMB/CIFS Filesystem Authentication window will pop up. In the Username field, type your domain user name. In the Password field, type your domain password. Click OK.

  4. The SMB Mount window will pop up. Click on the double-arrow to select the server item you wish to use. Click OK.

  5. An icon for the server item you have selected will appear on your desktop. Double-click on the icon to access it.

Logging out

To prevent others from gaining access to private server directories to which your domain account may have access, you should log out of all file servers when you are finished using them or whenever you leave your computer unattended.

To log out of a file server, drag the server icon on your desktop into the trash.

Shutting down your computer will automatically log you out.
