Mac server, PC laptop

[brodie45]

Hello, I work for a publishing company that uses a mac server. I'm usually pretty good with the network (considering I have no formal education in networking) but I recently have been trying to get a laptop (WinXP) to operate on it. The laptop is able to connect to the internet, but wont access email. What I would like MOST is to be able to access the main hard drive on the network (called Pagination) for file sharing. If anyone can help me or direct me to a site explaining this I would greatly appreciate it. The mac server is OS 8. I have heard of a program to buy that does this but I'm afraid I'm over my head with this one...

You can buy PC MacLan for the PC. It will do what you need to. It will give you the appletalk protocol on PC. A plus is you can use printers such as laserwriters that use appletalk.

Hi Brodie,

Sorry to both you, but I'm having a similar problem, but haven't managed to reach the position you have. I've got an OS X Mac and Win XPPro laptop, I can get them to file share, but cannot get the laptop to access the internet through the Mac. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Matt.
