Hello, I am completely new to Macs, however, I just purchased a Macbook pro. I have setup a VPN connection to our office VPN (pptp), and I connected to our windows shares. One of our share folders ( illustrator files) is around 270GB. When I connect it takes about 45 minutes to bring up the folder structure, however, the folders are all empty. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if there is a better way to connect.

I go to finder - go - connect to server, enter smb://server ip address/sharename.

Is there another way to do this that might work better, or is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Alex
