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.
