Instructions for Using a Mac to Access Your N Drive From Off-Campus
- From your Mac’s desktop, go to the Finder toolbar and select “Go”
- At the bottom of the drop down menu that appears, select “Connect to Server...”
- In the “Connect to Server” windows, enter the appropriate address (as shown below) then click “Connect”
- Students’ server address = http://fileserv.dom.edu/students/your_username
- Faculty server address = http://fileserv.dom.edu/faculty/your_username
- Staff server address = http://fileserv.dom.edu/admin/your_username
- After the “System Authentication” window appears, enter the domain information (“DOM”), your username and your password then click “OK”.
- You may receive an error message “The username or password may be invalid. Try again”. This is a known bug:
- Click “Ok” and you will be returned to the previous “System Authentication” window.
- Simply click “OK” again at the “System Authentication” after which your connection should complete successfully.
- If the error message continues, make sure that you have entered your username and password correctly, then repeat the above.
- The network drive will appear immediately and its contents will appear a few seconds afterward, depending on the speed of your network connection.
- When you are finished, be sure to save and close your documents before disconnecting from the network drive.
