BioChem Grants File Sharing Changes
Due to recent security updates the department will slightly change the way faculty log onto their grants folders to share information with the administration office. Please follow the instructions below to regain access to your grants folder.
TO CONNECT WITH MAC OS X :
1. In the "Finder" select "Connect to Server" under the "Go" Menu
2. Type in the server name research.ritc.med.umich.edu under the field for "Server Address"
3. Press the plus symbol directly to the right of that field to add this server to your "Favorite Servers" list below. (this way you wont have to type it in every time you want to connect)
4. Enter your username and password
5. A dialog box will appear with the directories you can access. Among those is "biochem-grants"
6. Select the directory you wish to access and it will mount the server in your finder
7. When you are finished with the server remember to disconnect.
TO CONNECT WITH WINDOWS 2000 or WINDOWS XP
1. Open "My Computer"
2. Under the "Tools" Menu select "Map Network Drive"
3. This will spawn a smaller window. Under the menu " Drive:" select any unused drive letter. I would not use "A","B","C","D", "F", or "G"
4. Under the menu "Folder" type in the following verbatim "\\research.ritc.med.umich.edu\biochem-grants" do not include the quotation marks
5. Ensure that the 'Reconnect at Logon" is selected
6. Click the link towards the bottom of the window "connect using a different user name"
7. Enter the username and password you provided me and click finish
8. Now return to "My computer" and you will see your server space mounted as a drive.
9. I suggest you do not "disconnect" the drive when you are finished with accessing the server but rather log out of windows and log back in. This will wipe out the previous user password and when you double click on the drive again it will prompt you to enter your username and password again.
