I would disagree I just completed attached our marketing dept. (all OS X) to our windows 2000 file server. I also network an OS X workstation and windows workstation at home It is not that difficult. True there are a couple more steps involved but that is because OS X uses IP by default and not AppleTalk (What is easier to setup a small NetBeui network or an IP network?) After specifying you network setting you basically just "map a drive" or on the Mac "connect to server" you can use either an SMB connection or if you want to use AppleTalk you can use AFP. Neither is very difficult. I will give you, that AppleTalk is easier but if you are responsible for the network you will hate AppleTalk, it is a very "loud" broadcast protocol. It will cause a lot of unnecessary traffic on your network.

Here are you options: 1. The fast and easy way (get DAVE for Mac) 2. The slow and pain in the a$$ way (use the various networking apps in OS X) Network Monitor, Preferences/Networking, Apps/Utilities has a few other goodies too. I would also configure the SMB (Samba settings and get a WINS server running to help out too.) Good luck. OS X is harder to network than previous Mac OS's. OS 8/9 were very easy.
