10.3: Delete cached files to solve Windows networking issues
Jan 28, '04 10:22:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
I was having trouble with browsing and accessing certain directories and volumes on my work network after upgrading to Panther. I found that there were a few files (cached?) in /private/var/automount/Network/. After deleting these files, the problems went away and my Windows networking returned to normal.

10.3: Delete cached files to solve Windows networking issues
Yes, I noticed this too, while trying to make a Carbon Cpoy Cloner copy of my HDD to a Firewire HDD.
I wrote a little bit about this in my blog: (http://bitfever.blogger.de)
This does see to bee a network cache if you are offline, but when you are connected to that network (no need to mount anything) it seems the directorys under /private/var/automount/Network lead to the network! Because auf this CCC tried to copy my whole 97GB Windows Drive onto the Firewire disk.

I hope this works for me as I've been having some weird problems with Panther's samba of late.

Please excuse my ignorance, but how can I view those directories? Are they hidden?

you can use the Finder menu "go..." and then choose "go to folder", then type the name of the folder

Yeah, they're hidden. Just go get TinkerTool. Under Finder Options, choose 'Show hidden and system files', then relauch the finder using the button. Afterwards, you can turn off that option and relaunch the finder agian.
Contribute to Apple's Discussion thread to get this issue solved!
If you go to Apple's discussion forum, and see what some people have been saying about Panther's Networking you'll discover that many people are infuriated by their half-finished or de-evolving solution to a networked environment. Go to: "Home - Mac OS X - Mac OS X v10.2 - Using Technologies - Networking and the Web - Networking is awful in 10.3 (Panther)" and put your 2 cents in to get this thing fixed in the next update. I love the rest of the work they do but this is a calamity.

I've noticed this. This location is where the directories are actually mounted: so make sure that they are unmounted before deleting anything.

Followed these suggestions. No dice. Still the shared Windows resources don't show up in the Network pane of the Finder. They do show up in the automount/Network folder using Terminal. I can also connect to them without any problem using command-K in the Finder. So what the heck is it with Apple's claim that networking is easier?? Where is the fix to make shared drives show up in the Finder?
