Hi, On your NT server, go to Network>services.
Click on ADD and select SERVICES FOR MACINTOSH. Follow prompts. You will need to re-boot.
Once you have re-booted, click on >start>programs>administrative tools (common)>server manager. When this opens up, highlight your server. You will have a new menu at the top called MACFILES. Click on this and find VOLUMES. Here you can select or create the folder you want to share files from on your MAC. You can create other folders to share, but they all will be on the server. NOT on any other system.
NOTE: you will NOT be able to browse the network from your MAC. To do that you will need some 3rd party software. There is one called DAVE. It is shareware and you will need to purchase a license if you decide to use it.
On the MAC, open your Chooser, and select AppleTalk. This should show the share on the server you just created.
I would recommend giving an IP address to your MAC. Either through DHCP or a static IP address.

Hope this helps.
