I have a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.8. I'm trying to connect to shares on a Windows 2003 Server. I'm getting the following message when going through Finder to browse to the server:

"The alias "servername" could not be opened because the original item cannot be found"

alternatively, I get the following when trying to connect to the share from Go > Connect to Server:

"Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct."

I have been able to connect by disabling the group policy on the Windows server that forces Digitally signed communications.

Isn't there another way though?

It's a proprietary microsoft encryption. Until Microsoft opens up the spec for others to incorporate, only Microsoft systems will be able to use Digitally signed SMB packets and in turn when a server requires them, nothing but Microsoft clients will have access.

And unfortunately, Microsoft is not known for being quick to play nice with non-Microsoft products.
