You need to determine your IP's based on the gateway and subnet, and they might be dynamically asigned by the network. When setting TCP/IP properties, check the box stipulating to automatically assign an IP address. You do not need to set static IP's. Hope this helps. Check the TCP/IP settings in the Local Area Connection Properties' Box in My Network Places for Microsoft 2K; don't know about MacIntosh, sorry. If you are using 2K Pro and 2K Server you can set up static IP's, and register them in the DHCP utility in Server under Administrative Tools. I do know that Micros_ _ t has a client program to interface with Apple. Check Technet about that. Good luck. whythisagainwhythisagainwhythisagain

you are going to need to configure apple talk Here is how to create it
Creating an AppleTalk router record
To keep information about your internet for maintenance purposes, create a router record. Include the following information:

Router location.
Physical location.
If the router is a computer running Windows 2000 Server with AppleTalk network integration, record the server computer name.
Router type and version.
The physical networks connected to the router, with the following information for each:
Cabling identification.
Network media type.
Network numbers.
Zone names.
Default zone.
Whether this router is a seed router for the networks attached to it.
Note

Other AppleTalk network management products for Macintosh clients can simplify internet administration. For example, the Apple Inter-Poll network administrator's utility lets you see all AppleTalk devices (including routers) on an internet in real time, observe every Server for Macintosh server, and sort devices by network number, device name, node, and so on. If you install the Apple Responder (part of the Inter-Poll product) on Macintosh clients running System 6.x, you can also view those clients with Inter-Poll. (The Responder is built into System 7.) Farallon Computing, Sonic System, and Caravelle also provide network management utilities that track network activity.
dont know if this is what you are loking for but its something ................ Anthony Cabanas (MCSE Win 2K)

To Install File Server for Macintosh

Open the Windows Components wizard.
In Components, click Other Network File and Print Services , and then click Details.
Select the File Services for Macintosh check box.
To install Print Server for Macintosh, you can also select the Print Services for Macintosh check box.

Click OK, and then click Next.


To open the Windows Components wizard, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Certain Windows components require configuration before thay can be used. If you installed one or more of these components, but did not configure them, when you click Add/Remove Windows Components, a list of components that need to be configured is displayed. To start the Windows Components wizard, click Components.
You must have an NTFS partition installed before you install File Server for Macintosh.
When File Server for Macintosh and TCP/IP are installed, the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) over TCP/IP is enabled automatically.
If you have not already installed the AppleTalk protocol, the protocol is installed automatically when you install File Server for Macintosh.

Here is some more from microsoft !
Have fun
