I have a windows 2000 server network. I just bought an IMac and want to join it to the domain and also have internet access.
I've never joined a mac to a network before. Can you help me? I've already install apple talk protocol. Is the a good step?

The Imac is set up to use Ethernet for networking and if you configure TCP/IP for it, you should be able to share your internet access. Appletalk is really a thing of the past now...

As far as file sharing goes, this becomes a lot muddier water. You will want to install File and Print Services for Macintosh.

Take a look here for Microsoft's information about incorporating Macs into a W2k network:
