[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1074535, member: 8287"] I have not had any experience with Win 2003 server at all. Last Windows server OS I ran for years was 2000 Server. It's been so long and back then I was running 10.3 Panther and later 10.4 Tiger. I remember some issues with network shares but I forget. If the G5 with 10.5 works with it though, 10.6 should also. Here at the house I have many XP, Vista, Windows 7 and OSX machines all on a network together and I can access folders going both ways (OSX to Windows and Windows to OSX) without issue. I also have a G5 with 10.5.8 and a modified (by me) Intel Mac Mini C2D with 10.6.4 and can connect equally easy to any of my Windows systems. I wonder if it's something with 2003 server and 10.6 not getting along? I will search around and see what I can find. I with I had my 2000 server set up and see how that works with 10.6.4. I will get back to you if I find anything. Now that I think about it, I connect to my windows systems with my user account and not using Administrator. I remember trying Administrator and the password once and it did not log in. I will check that out also. [/QUOTE]
