I am on comcast and am using an in-house server running win2000 server.
Appletalk seemes to be operational but cannot share files between the two machines... the thing I am most interested in doing...
Can Services For Macintosh be installed on the Win2K Server? Open the TCP/IP control panel and make sure it's set to connect via ethernet. That's also where you'll find where to set the TCP/IP address or set it for DHCP or whatever your sysadmin has things setup for.
And while your in control panels, check Appletalk is set to ethernet rather than the default printer port. The ip address has little bearing on appletalk, if the win2k machine can serve appletalk then the mac should see the pc in its chooser whether the mac recieved a address via dhcp or it fell back to a local default (after a long wait). Appletalk can navigate such problems, it work fine with pcmaclan. Services for Macintosh should do the same?
