Next message: Daniel deHam: "RE: [WinMac] How can Win2K access Appleshare fileservers?"
It depends on the version of AppleShare Server you are running. Basically,
you need to ensure that SMB is running on the AppleShare IP server; and if
so you need to be patched to version 6.3.1 - Anything earlier and SMB
(Server Message Block) doesn't work. It's a free upgrade from 6.x to 6.3.1;
but to run it it MUST ride on top of System 9 (preferably system 9.0.4).
My suggestion: Run Win2k/AS on a good piece of hardware and use it as the
central storage point for both the Macs and PC's.
Cheers!
Dan
