Javier has pointed out a good resource. I looked at this when setting up
some Macs. However, I must confess that being a Windoze addict I still
haven't got round to sorting out access to shared folders on the SBS etc.,
partly because the Macs we have don't really need it - e-mail and web access
suffices.
All of the Macs were put in by a separate company, and what amuses me
slightly is that these depend on their own Win2k servers (three in fact)
which are now member servers on the main office network...
