Macintosh

Using DAVE Access to Connect to the SGS

UWEC students have a Windows NT account that provides access to numerous resources through the computer and the servers. Macintosh users now have access to their NT accounts from many of the Macintosh general access computer labs. A program named DAVE is used to access your NT account and, ultimately, your SGS space (used for storing your Eudora files, Netscape bookmarks, and class files).

Additional information and tips for working with the SGS from Macintosh labs is available in the LTS Online Help collection.

Connecting to your SGS account with DAVE Access is a two-step process. First, you log on--this establishes the Command toolbar. Second, you complete the Mount a Volume dialog box. Both steps must be completed before you have access to your files.

NOTE: Before you begin the connection process, make sure that the last person logged off. If you see a desktop icon for the SGS account of another student you must log them off before you can log on.
