I don't see any reason that it shouldn't. BTW, others have mentioned Sharity. It seems like a reasonably functional product, and it seems to work really well, but I think the licensing terms/costs are a bit out of line, particularly since Apple is certainly not going to stand still. Apple will, I have no doubt, improve on the functionality of SMB connectivity (hopefully in both directions) in the coming months...Originally posted by travelgz

Yes Win2K does do AFP. But, as I said earlier, only as a server; there is no option in Windows Explorer to connect to an AFP volume, nor will Microsoft ever provide an option to do so. Also, the ability to present AFP volumes is only available in the Server, Advanced Server, and Data Center flavours. What's missing? Professional (AKA Workstation). So, having Pro means having to use SMB or DAV.Originally posted by Jorace
Windows 2000 DOES do AFP. It actualy does AFP/IP So that is a big plus over NT!! I have found that I get MUCH faster transfers from my W2K server using AFP than I do using SMB. Both work fine, just AFP is faster.

Win2k, though, doesn't understand AFP as a client; only as a server, so although you can connect from 10.1 to Win2k, connecting from Win2k to 10.1 is a bit trickier. That would require some kind of add-on to 10.1 (I think DAVE is supposed to do that). Or, you could get bold and install Samba to serve files up to Win2k...
Tried it. Ain't working.Originally posted by kenny
Piece of cake...
In Finder, click 'Go' and 'Connect to server...'...
Kewl... so there is hope after all :{)Originally posted by RevEvs
I have it working fine with Win 2k. It does work, I just can;t figure out what I have done differently to you. Currently I'm trying to get connected to Win XP - no luck yet...
Hey, I'm willing to give it a try. But I can't find how to install NetBIOS in Win2K. Any clues?Originally posted by vanbuskirk
Please try installing NetBIOS. If it is installed, and still not working please forgive this post. If NetBIOS does allow you to get SMB to work, please post back here and let me and everyone know.
WOO freakin HOO!! You rule :{DOriginally posted by vanbuskirk
Not sure exactly where NetBIOS can be installed from. You should just be able to open up the properties for your connection and then click add protocol or install or something like that. With XP NetBIOS gets installed with NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol.
