To recap our old I-Mac worked juts fine on our Windows and NAS network until we upgraded to OS 10.6. The MacbookPro, which runs 10.6 has never worked correctly.
For example we can create a folder on one of the NAS servers but when we try and copy a file to it we are informed we do not have permission, we also do not get the message until the file has copied over and then is rejected, a process that takes a long time with a large file.
Well it seems that Apple stopped supporting Appletalk protocol with 10.6, why this make a difference, I don't know, but it does.
The bottom line, in order to move files from the Mac to the PC network we have to use an external drive - i.e. move files from the Macs to USB drive then move USB drive to any PC and move the files from the USB drive to the NAS server. Of course on the PC's we simply save to the network drive.
I am sure that I am doing something wrong but I did call Apple Care and had my call escalated to a "specialist" and he could not help at all. Except by saying that Mac's might not support NAS drives!
MacbookPro = Double the price and complexity (but it does look pretty!)
