basically, my understanding is as follows (and please do correct me if I'm wrong).
Let's start by clarifying my biases: Macs SUCK (at least OS 9 does; OS X holds some promise) I manage a network that is about evenly split between Win2k and Mac OS 9.2 workstations. All servers are either in a Win2K domain or stand-alone Linux severs. I have Services for Macs enabled on a few fileservers and print servers. Given the poor support for TCP/IP in OS 9, the windows domain has to broadcast file server and printer availability using the AppleTalk protocol. Using this method will allow file servers and printers to appear in the Mac OS 9 Chooser (and make Mac users happy). It allows Mac users to connect to network services by using just the username/passwd combination (as opposed to the slightly more rigorous "domain\username" and password) btw: if you're using an exchange server, you may find that Outlook 2001 for Mac is not the best client. It doesn't support html email (rich text) but supports all the collaboration features of Exchange. Entourage does support html email, but does not support group calendaring and collaboration. Outlook Express supports html email but does not support authenticated smtp for outgoing mail. anyway... Now, OS X appears to not require the AppleTalk broadcast and does hold some promise in other areas (e.g. user authentication and security, networking, open standards - sort of, etc.) But I've yet to get the time to "put it through its paces". If anyone has other thoughts, comments, and suggestions about Macs, I'm all ears! regards Luis Aguilera IT Manager BaseSix -----Original Message----- From: Carey, Greg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 3:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] A little OT:: Mac on the Net Some people weren't thrilled with the Services for MAC (or the MAC people didn't want to get involved with the Windows people) so started using an application on the MAC called Dave. This app basically made the MAC act like a windows machine as far as the server it was connecting to was concerned - no special configuration needed server sides. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 2:07 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] A little OT:: Mac on the Net Now as far as I know I do not / Did not have an Apple Share set up in my Windows environment.... Now If I need it is there a way to set it up with Windows 2000? -----Original Message----- From: Canzoneri, Kurt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 9:37 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] A little OT:: Mac on the Net Try trashing the ApplesharePrep preference and the TCP/IP preference. Reboot and zapp the pram 3-5 times. You will have to set up Appleshare and TCP/IP settings after this.

After I did this some/most of the Macintosh's on the network having been presenting this error: "Another device on your TCP/IP internet, which has the physical address 00 02 B3 2A FA EF, is currently using the same IP address (10.80.102.236). Your TCP/IP network interface has been shut down." Now what bothers me is there is no computer assigned (10.80.102.236). And no assigned machine has the physical address 00 02 B3 2A FA EF. I have gone to a few of the Macintosh's and tried static IP's but I get the same error above with the static IP that I gave it in place of (10.80.102.236). Any Ideas?
