<br>Just thought I'd pass this on. I have a customer that needs to create files on a non Network Mac, (IT won't do it) then get the files to a PC laptop with no CD player, to email them out on the local corporate network. It seems that there is some problem with copying files to a PC format Zip disk with the Resource fork being split off the files and the files being corrupted, like the SMB problems.<br><br>It seems the same trick as overcoming the SMB problem works with Zip disks. If you put the file/s into a folder and copy the folder all is well.<br><br>

What about stuffing the files? I imagine that could work as well...<br><br><br>[color:red]DaddyMac's MP3 to AAC conversion: left to go...</font color=red>

Yeh, I would stuff the file with a small filename. Make sure u dont use a filename too long. Stuffing usually worked for me on cross-platform.<br><br>___________________________________________<br><br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....

That will only work if the Apple is running DHCP and the network he is plugging into has a DHCP server defined.<br><br>

"network he is plugging into has a DHCP server defined"<br><br>aren't like 99.99999999999999999% of the networks out there running DHCP (the IT morons that won't plug in the Mac are probably the 0.0000000000000001%) <br><br>[color:blue]Quitters never win, winners<br> never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.</font color=blue>

For the network, just write down the settings from the PC on a paper, plug them into the MAC and change the last digit of your IP. If hear someone cursing in a cubbicle, change the IP again till it's all nice and quiet! Than just wait to get a complimetary long lasting pain free vacation.<br><br>PS: By pain I ment "pay"<br><br>___________________________________________<br><br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....

or you could write down the settings of the PC, plug them into the Mac exactly the same. Unplug the PC and turn it off, cause you won't be needing it anymore, now that the Mac is on the network! <br><br>[color:blue]Quitters never win, winners<br> never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.</font color=blue>

That's totally true. When I moved to this company, I had an old 300mhz mac and a 333mhz PC in my cubbicle. I made them get the new mac, and now I am just running the MAC, and Win2000 under virtual PC for some of the PC stuff. Also, I am the only mac user in the whole company and at first they said that they couldnt plug it into the network. So I did it myself and I also requested 3 extra IPs with the explanation that I "needed them". Now I can plug in my laptop from home and my PC laptop from home too. With OSX you can also see all the printers and drives in the network too without having to install anything else on the server.<br><br>___________________________________________<br><br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....
