Can you create a MAC volume for sharing data on a Windows 2000 Pro machine and how would you go about doing it? We are using a Windows 200 Pro machine as our server, and we have several MACs using OS9 and 10. Thanks everyone.

I'm not quite sure what you want to accomplish. If you want the Macs to be able to connect to a WIN2K network, there are several clients for Mac OS that can do this, perhaps the most popular being DAVE . If you're running OWA, it's even easier to just set up the Macs' Remote Access to log on to the intranet via ethernet and use Outlook Express and Internet Explorer, though the performance and flexibility are not as good.

You can only create a Mac volume (per-se) using a Windows Server OS, because only the Server OSes come with "File Services for Macintosh".

You can make a Mac appear as a Windows clent to the rest of the network by buying one of the NetBIOS clients for the MacOS such as suggested by the other answers.
