I've set up the trial version of DSS 7 and have set up several test shares. I am using a Windows 2008R2 domain controller for authentication, and I am able to connect to the shares from both PCs and Macs via SMB, but when I try and connect via AFP the Macs just keep popping the authentication window back up over and over. If I set it to allow guest access, I am able to successfully connect as a guest, so it is clearly my tie in to Active Directory that isn't working for AFP, but is for SMB.
