I can ping the server no problem. They are definitely able to see each
other. As I mentioned, I've even been able to see the Mac obtain a lease
from the Proxy Server.

Thanks for the help, but I'm looking for a way to get this very carefully
spec'ed system up and running. Are you saying that Macs and Proxy Server
2.0 are truly incompatible, or is that simply an (probably deserved, but
I digress) anti-Microsoft comment?
Any thoughts on whether or not adding NT Services for Macintosh would
lessen the pain, or just contribute more headaches?
