Network Screen
Works with Windows.

Jaguar adds all the features you need to use your Mac in a Windows-centric world— with style and flair.

Many employers now let you work from home, and connect over a DSL or cable modem to the corporate network to collaborate with your colleagues over email or share files. To keep out unwanted guests, companies create a virtual private network (VPN). To access the network, you have to use a VPN client on your remote Mac. Jaguar includes a PPTP-based VPN client, which works well with Windows-managed remote networks, as well as standards-based networks.

To help you work remotely, the Mac OS X Mail client lets you connect better with a Microsoft Exchange mail server. Your INBOX can pretend to be an exact duplicate of what’s on your work machine, so you can check your mail, delete a few items, then leave other items for when you’re back in the office.

Jaguar lets you connect to Windows file servers more easily than the original Mac OS X. Now all you need to do is use the “Connect To” menu in the Finder to mount shared volumes. Then simply browse the file structure like you would any Mac other server. You no longer have to enter the IP address or know the computer name to find the items you want.

Windows Networking Screen When you add a Mac to a Windows-based network, your Mac can pretend to be a Windows machine to the other boxes on the network. That way, Windows users can connect to your Mac and use its shared folders without you needing to install any extra software. It’s called Personal File Services for Windows, or the master of disguise.

Jaguar also includes support for Active Directory, so you can more easily integrate Macs into a Windows-based network. Your network administrator can use the same password authentication system that Windows people use, and can store your home directory on a remote Windows server, if that’s how your network is set up.

All in all, Jaguar gives you what you need to exist peacefully side by side with your Windows brethren.
