A collection of tips on accessing Windows file servers
Authored by: mael on Jul 30, '04 11:19:59AM
That usually happens when I try to reconnect to a share that I've been using with no troubles whatsoever before.
It turned out that the .DS_Store-files Mac OS X leaves lying around everywhere seem to cause this. Deleting them causes no harm but makes the share accessible again.

To do so, we are using a command that runs on the windows box, searching and deleting all .DS_Store-files. No need for a script here..

cd driveletter: like: cd f:
del /f /s .ds_store

Maybe it helps.
