Several things emerged out of a frustrating hour:

• Macs can't do SFTP for some reason, so we have to use SMB to connect to taporshare.tapor.uvic.ca.
• When logging on, remember the prefix UVic\ before the user name.
• There's an ACL on the UVicDefault wireless setup that blocks SMB. That means Macs have no way of mounting a network share. The Help desk have promised to investigate this.

CC's laptop also has no ethernet, so it was doubly difficult to get connected.
