Networking a Mac with A Windows PC
I can't seem to access my Windows PC from my Mac although I can access my Mac from my Windows PC.

When I click on network in the Finder and then on the domain, after a few seconds it lists the computer but when I try to connect after tryinging for a while it fails with the error "The alias "NEW-COMPUTER" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"

Also when using the connect to server option on the go menu the only way I get any response is to type the actual ip address in the form smb://192.168.1.100 then it comes up asking for my windows user/pass which I then enter but it tells me they are incorrect when in fact they are not.

Any ideas as to why this is not working?
Thanks
Robin

P.S. The windows computer is running Windows Server 2003 and is set up as a domain controller. I can access it from all other computers on the network
