I don't have any info on the the server configuration, but we just went to a new shiny Windows box and now if I copy a folder to the server, Ican see it, but not others on the network. I told my IT guy and he says it's some kind of permission thing (I am completely dumb about network)And he was able to get the folder to show.

Today, I was told to find a file in Server/Share/Other dept/Art/The folder I want
But when i went to that location on the network, nothing but one file that was old and, according to the creator, deleted last week. He said that the folder was also renamed, to correct a spelling error, but I still see said error.

Anything leap to mind with you network savvy types?

It sounds like a lot of issues when someone is using an ancient server with outdated networking protocols and newer Macs trying to connect to them.

False alarm. User error, on my and the IT guy's behalf.
I restarted and the old server was launched and i was working from that, but it was supposed to be taken offline...

Thanks for the input Joe!
