Instructions for connecting to Unix samba server is also included below.
You can connect to Windows computers and servers on your network from your Mac. You will need to set up and be connected to the VPN. In the event that you are unable to successfully VPN to MCECS before
attempting to RDP to some Windows box, you can use SSH tunneling to
accomplish the same goal. Directions on Setting up an SSH tunnel to allow you to RDP to
an MCECS Windows box can be found here.
You can connect to it using the Connect To Server dialog in the Finder.
To locate the Windows computer, you need to know the workgroup name for the computer and the network name (called the "computer name") for the computer. To connect to the computer, you also need a user name and password and the name of the shared folder you want to access.
- In the Finder, choose Go > "Connect to Server.
- Type the network address for the computer in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
smb://DNSname/sharename smb://IPaddress
- Follow the onscreen instructions to type the workgroup name and a user name and password, and choose the shared folder you want to access.
If you connect to the shared folder using Connect to Server, its icon may appear in the Finder window Sidebar or on your desktop.
To connect to the Unix samba server use one of the following: smb://samba.cecs.pdx.edu/cs, smb://samba.cecs.pdx.edu/ece or smb://samba.cecs.pdx.edu/linux in the Server Address field.
Use CECS in the workgroup name field.
To connect to the Windows server use: smb://winhome.cecs.pdx.edu and use CECS in the workgroup name field.

double-click on it. You should now see all the files on your N:\ drive.
