Hello everyone,
I've got following problem:
I have 3 Macs (OS X 10.3.9), a few PCs and Windows NT server.
Recently NT server ran out of disk space so I decided to get new one. New box has got Windows 2003 Server installed.
I connected new box to the network, prepared drives to be accessible for Mac and started to copy data.
Once I finished copying data, I changed old server name and IP to some other and new server has got old server's name and IP.
And here the problem begins:
All Quark files seem lost their icons and associations. Now the icon appearing in the Finder is the Terminal one. Trying to open ends up with the standard dialog box: choose the aplication to open this file.
As I haven't got time to play with it I went back to old set up (old server, old name and IP). Another surprise: I cannot access files on the old server - same problem. Icons disappeared, files cannot be open as there's no default application.
Can someone tell me what is the exact way of saving / copying files in mixed Mac / Windows environment ? Have I done something wrong on the way ? And the most confussing thing: why I cannot go back to the original set up ? Does changing server name affect Mac files stored on the Windows server ?
Any help and thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
