excel wont open files from a WHS networkdrive, on my mac mini, but i will from my macbook?

[blackbox100]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel hi all

have a strange problem here, i own a mac mini the 2.53ghz model bought a month ago, and a macbook (the white model) also bought a month ago, both running all the latest software updates, and office 2008 for mac, with all the latest updates

on the mac mini, i can´t open any excel documents that are stored on a shared folder on my windows home server, it just says

excel cannot open this file the file might have been damaged or modified from its original format

but when i try to open the same document on the macbook, it opens just fine?

have tried to remove office 2008 and reinstall it on the mac mini, but that didnt help, and the strange thing is if i move the excel files, from my windows home server, to another windows home server, it opens just fine on the mac mini

then suspected that it was the WHS that was ****** up, and deleted the account on the WHS where the folders were stored, rebooted the whs, and added the account again, but with the same result, the mac mini wont open the excel files, it will open word files, from the same folder.

and the macbook will still open both excel and word files, from the same folder?

i´m really confused now, and cant seem to pinpoint the error, and hope that someone can give me some pointers of where to look?

sincerely

Update 10.6.3 to OS X was supposed to fix this issue. Have you applied it?

Hope this helps

This can be a pain in the A to trouble-shoot.

Apple made some changes to the low-level transport protocols in OS 10.6.2/3
that confuse the hell out of Windows boxes.

Your next step is to remove the network connection to the Windows share from
the Mac Mini (just eject the drive...)

Then shut down and wait for the power to go off. Then restart, and
reconnect the share drive using SMB.

"Might" work then...

Hope this helps
