Hook my Mac IIci to a Windows network

[DJOHNSON]

I would like to hook my Mac CI to an xp windows network to access it's files via my XP Windows network. I've been down the Maclink road and would prefer to have access to it directly. I'm running 7.5 and my network is setup with a linksys router. Can someonr please help me?

Thank you

Commercial route would be to find an older copy of DAVE (at least version 2.5) by Thursby Software, but I believe the minimum OS for a version that works somewhat reliably is 7.6 or higher.

Windows 2000 Server was the last Microsoft OS that supported AppleTalk and AppleShare natively.

You could also use an intermediate linux/netbsd box running Samba and Netatalk.

Sorry, Porter. Server 2003 supports AppleTalk and AppleShare very well unless my backups are going into oblivion...

XP dropped client side printing over AppleTalk very late in development (too late for the help file writers).

Server 2003 supports AppleTalk and AppleShare

Thank you for the clarification!
