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. >> >>--Janet (computer support for UWCCC Flow Lab) >> >>_____________________________________ >>Janet E.
