User, There are many different application that can be used to do this, however the first question I would have would be "what are you wanting to do?" Although this may sound a little redundant at this point, the reason I ask is that if you're talking about networking Mac's to a WindowsNT/2K Server, then you're done. By using Mac file sharing on the server, mission accomplished. Now if you're talking about having the Mac act like a PC, maybe run Windows as an OS, I recommend Connectix Virtual PC, which allows you to install all of the Windows OS, Linux, to name a few on the Mac running in a Virtual Machine. Natively, the newer Mac all speak TCP/IP, so networking is already there. File Sharing may be a little trickier if you're using a "Peer-to-Peer" style of network, however, it can be done. Let me know, His Humble Servant, Mark On Monday, July 22, 2002, at 03:20 AM, User & wrote: > I was tasked at work to network some Windows boxes with some Macs > running OS > 9.x. > > Anyone doing this and what programs do you recommend? > > Would like to use all open source if possible. > > Thanks, > > Tim > > -- > FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE > 6:17AM up 6 days, 19:05, 1 user, load averages: 3.02, 3.31, 3.64 > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
