Cluster Server and OS X

[Scott Calman]

Hello, I have a set of Win2K advanced severs running
clustering ands a virtual server and a disk array with
several shares on it. I also have Macintosh services
running but I am unable to see any of the shares from any
of our macintosh clients and if I attempt to connect to
the virtual server by by IP, it dumps me to one of the
actual servers instead of the virtual server. anybody have
any suggestions about what I did wrong?

If the Macintosh clients run MacOSX you do not need services for Macintosh
on your servers (it is needed for MacOS classic only). OSX acts exactly like
a Windows PC on networking matters, so it can log in to your NT/2k domain
and browse all NT/2k shares, just like a WinPC.

Actually installing Services for Macintosh doesn't do any good, unless you
have activated Appletalk (which is de-activated by default!) on the MacOSX
computers.

I hope this helps
