How To: Mapping Network Drives on a Mac
Many Kenyon resources are available on servers (Windows or "Samba" shares) which can be mapped by network users and accessed on campus. These include personal drives (a.k.a. H: drives) and the public (P:) drive.
1.) Ensure that you have a working internet connection and that you are authenticated through the network (in the case of non-residential wireless, make sure you're not logged in as a guest).
2.) On the menu bar click Go > Connect to Server.
3.) Enter the address of the desired server:
- For your H: (personal) drive, enter smb://rhine.kenyon.edu/username$ for students or smb://tiber.kenyon.edu/username$ for faculty and administration. Note that username is your Kenyon network username and that it's followed by a dollar sign.
- For your personal web page, enter smb://personal.kenyon.edu/username (note the lack of "$").
- For the O: (departmental) drive, enter smb://vistuala.kenyon.edu/<departmental share>
- For the P: (public) drive, enter smb://potomac.kenyon.edu/public
- For other drives, consult your professor or faculty/administrative liaison.
4.) You will then be prompted for a username and password. Make sure that you enter "KENYON" in the Workgroup or Domain field if it doesn't already appear there.
5.) Click the OK button.
