Next message: Bruce Johnson: "Re: [WinMac] NT vs 98 on Appleshare IP Network"
NT or win2k has Services for Macintosh among the packages you can istall. it
whouldd actually work better than what you have been using.
>We need some help in deciding whether to change one of our PCs to Windows
>NT.
>
>A hardware manufacturer we work with has asked us to beta test a new
>Windows NT version of their software package. We would very much
>like to do so, however our production machine currently runs Windows
>98.
>
>We have no objection to buying and installing NT, but we are
>concerned with possible problems which would require teams of
>Microsoft Certified IT Professionals to solve. We are mostly Mac
>people.
>
>We run a small Appleshare IP 6.3 network, with 7 Macs and 4 PCs. The
>PCs all run Windows 98. We share 2 printers over the network: a
>LaserWriter 12/640 and an Epson 1270 with Axis 1440 Ethernet
>connection. (Note that the only way I have been able to get the PCs
>to consistently work with the LaserWriter is to make a direct
>parallel connection to one of the PCs, and then share it out from
>that PC.) The Macs all behave beautifully.
>
>The only software that we run on that production machine (besides the
>manufacturer's) is Photoshop, Illustrator, and CorelDraw,
>occasionally one of the Microsoft Office products, along with Norton
>Antivirus.
>
>Any thoughts from the NT experts. Any bad experiences from the non
>NT experts. Can I just install NT over the Windows 98 system? Will
>everything break? Are there specific ways to avoid problems?
>
>Thanks for your help.
