>>Pam,

>>Will you send this to the cytometry list in reply to Qing Li's message?

>>-------------------------
>>How you set up your networking depends on what type of server
>>system your IT people are running. The most important question is
>>whether their server system is Microsoft NT or 2000, Unix/Linux, or
>>Novell.
>>
>>If their server system is Microsoft NT/2000, your life is easy,
>>since all they have to do is install Services for Macintosh, which
>>is included with the NT server software. Then they designate a
>>share(s) as a Mac volume(s). The server and share appear to you as
>>a regular Macintosh server and volume. This is how the UWCCC Flow
>>Lab is set up. The one caveat is that if you are using old Mac OS's
>>(such as 8.x), they have some trouble with shares larger than 2
>>gigabytes, so the IT people need to make the Mac share(s) no larger
>>than that. Your IT people can contact me if they want to know more
>>details, tips, etc.
>>
>>If their server system is Novell, you'll need to go the Dave route
>>that Doug Smoot mentioned in another Cytometry list posting. I
>>believe this lets you log onto a Unix/Linux server as well, as long
>>as that server is running Samba, a program which mimics Windows
>>File Sharing.
>>
>>PC-MacLAN, which Doug Smoot also mentions in his post, is primarily
>>for giving Windows computers the ability to use Appletalk in both
>>directions. This is not necessary for an NT server (with Services
>>for Macintosh installed). It is handy to have on your PC when you
>>want to log onto an Apple file share.
