Hi MaximM,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! I'm a bit unclear on your exact network configuration or any requirements your server admins may have set up, but the basic process should be similar to connecting to a server the traditional IPv4 way. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:


OS X Yosemite: Connect to shared computers and file servers on a network

OS X Yosemite: Connect to a Windows computer from a Mac

OS X Yosemite: Use IPv6


Cheers

Hi,


Thanks for replay.


I mean:

Connect to a Windows computer by entering its address

  1. In the Finder, choose Go > “Connect to Server.”
  2. Type the network address for the computer in the Server Address field using one of these formats:
    1. smb://DNSname/sharename
    2. smb://IPaddress/sharename

I don't know how in case 2.2 enter IPv6 address?

Could you explain please.

BR,

Maxim
