So here'smy problem:
I am the only Mac connected to a Windows Server 2003 network. I am running OS X 10.2.6. So far I can get my email using the crappy exchange support via Entourage, I can retreive webmail and I can print to ONE printer (that for some reason, my computer thinks is a local printer).
I cannot for the life of me, actually connect to the server, which means i am unable to backup anything on this Mac. I have read at various places, that the problem is that the version of SAMBA that 10.2 has, does not support SMB packet signing, meaning that the server refuses my connection thinkng that I am a rogue computer. My network admin does not want to turn that feature off, which I can understand, so I need to come up with a solution.
I have also heard that SAMBA 3 is out now and it DOES support SMB packet signing. So is it possible to update SAMBA within OSX 10.2.x? Or will I have to wait until 10.3 comes out and hopefully they will include the newest SAMBA version.
If I am able to upgrade SAMBA, can someone give me some pointers as to where and how to do this?
Thanks a lot everyone!
