Let me call out, before I get a beating for this. If you want to fully use AD (LDAP) that is very tricky But to just use file and print using AD accounts it is not that big of a deal

(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. -------------------------------- Rob Weatherly Handleman Company (248) 362-4400 x122 -------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Martinez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 1:15 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: MAC accessing Win2k Server If your using OS X it's a real pain. 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.
