[OSX-Users] Re: OS X Mountain Lion (Gold Master) released

[Tim Chown]

I can confirm it's OK from eduroam using VPN (to staffvpn.ecs.soton.ac.uk).

Run the VPN first, then in the Finder do "Go.. connect to server", and then plug in cifs://software.ecs.soton.ac.uk/software, and then enter your ECS credentials to complete the drive mount.

If you're not VPNed correctly, you'll not get the login window to mount the drive.
