Welcome to the new Helpdesk! Though not much has changed, it has been re-organized a little and better integrated with the HOWTOs content at an easier-to-remember URL. We hope you find the changes are an improvement.
How to Set Up Your Personal Drive on a Macintosh
General Information
Before you set up your personal drive, please e-mail computersupport@mednet.ucla.edu, or stop by our office to inform the Computer Support team. A quick initial setup must be completed before you will be able to access your personal drive from a Macintosh.
We highly recommend that you use Microsoft UAMs (User Authentication Modules) when connecting to your personal drive from a Macintosh. This will insure the highest level of security when transmitting your password over the Gonda network. If you do not have this installed, please visit the How To Install Microsoft UAMs for Macintosh page.
Step 1: Open the network browser
In the Apple Menu, click on the Network Browser.
Step 2: Locate HGSERV2 on the AppleTalk Network
After the Network Browser has loaded, look for the AppleTalk icon. Click on the arrow to the left of the AppleTalk icon to expand the AppleTalk Network.
Next, click on the arrow on the left side of the Gonda_HG icon to expand the Gonda_HG network
Now, locate the HGSERV2 icon and double-click on it.
Step 3:Choose Your Log On Method
A window will appear that will ask you which type of log on method you would like to use. We highly recommend using Microsoft Authentication (also called Microsoft UAMs). If you do not see an option for Microsoft Authentication, click here for a guide on how to install Microsoft UAMs.
Continue to Step 4a after the Microsoft UAM has been installed. If you insist in using Apple Authentication (which transfers your password in unencrypted, continue to Step 4b.
Step 4a: Logging in with Microsoft Authentication
Click on Microsoft Authentication and then click OK.
In the next window that appears, enter your Gonda user name and password and click OK. The Gonda user name and password is the name and password you would type if you were logging into a Windows computer on the Gonda network.
Step 4b: Logging in Using Apple Standard UAMs
Click on Apple Standard UAMs and then click OK.
In the next window that appears, enter your Gonda user name and password and click OK. The Gonda user name and password is the name and password you would type if you were logging into a Windows computer on the Gonda network.
Step 5: Create a Desktop Shortcut
A list of names (like in the picture shown below) will appear after you have successfully logged into HGSERV2. Find your username, then drag and drop it onto your desktop. This will create a convienent shortcut from which you can access your personal drive.
Congratulations! You can now use the icon you've just created to access your personal drive whenever you want. Follow this same procedure on another Macintosh to access your user space.
