Is that a commercial tool? Under Windows NT 3.5/3.51/4.0/2000/XP(maybe!), you need to enable "MacFile" on a NTFS volume on your WinNT box to be able to present AppleShare folders to your Apple Machines. This marks that folder or entire volume as holding those Forked Files ;) that Mac uses. (aside - NTFS is capable of using that kind of file natively (a single file with multiple streams or forks in it), but nobody apart from Apple has actually bothered to use them, as far as I know) You can get to this under 3.5/3.51/4.0 by running WinFile (good old File Manager :-). If you have installed Windows 2000, you'll need to use the command line :-(... I recommed going to Start/Help, and going to the Index and looking up macfile... Here's some info on the "macfile volume" command: Macfile volume examples --------------------------------- To create a volume called US Marketing Statistics on the local server using the Stats directory in drive E: that cannot be accessed by guests, type macfile volume /add /name:"US Marketing Statistics" /guestsallowed:false /path:e:\stats To change the volume created above to be read only, require a password, and have a maximum number of five users, type macfile volume /set /name:"US Marketing Statistics" /readonly:true /password:saturn /maxusers:5 To add a volume called Landscape Design on the server \\Magnolia using the Trees directory in drive E: that can be accessed by guests, type macfile volume /add /server:\\magnolia /name:"Landscape Design" /path:e:\trees To remove the volume called Sales Reports on the local server, type: macfile volume /remove /name:"Sales Reports" Hope this helps Cheers Pidge mailto:pj_nield@hotmail.com 2 x Apple II GS ROM3 (not up and running yet) + 2x 5.25 , 2 x 3.5 floppiers + Gatorbox CS (HELP!) 2 x C-64 + 2 x 1541 + Action Replay Mk V C-128D BBC Model B System 80 + Expansion Unit + Percom Disk Doubler (TRS-80 M1 clone) "Pidge" wrote in message news:3b631c61_3@news1.prserv.net... > > "Tim Haynes" wrote in message > news:v3C87.100172$2V.23222809@news3.rdc1.on.home.com... > > > Q2.

For Windows 2000, you can manage your MacFile configuration under the Shares MMC plugin: - Right Click on My Computer, select "Manage" - Drill down to System Tools\Shared Folders\Shares To create a new Mac fileshare, right click "Share", and select "New File Share". This starts a Wizard, where you get to specify what the folder can be accessed from - and Apple Machintosh is listed Cheers Pidge mailto:pj_nield@hotmail.com
