I have a widows network with XP, Win 2K, and am trying to add a Mac OS9.
All computers connect via a router
I am having some difficulty figuring out how to 1) get the Mac to see any of the other systems, and 2) having the other systems see the Mac.

I have been battling with the exact same thing for over a year.
Best that I can figure out is that OS 9 doesn't have a WORKGROUP designation as where Windows 200 and XP have.
Check for PC/MAC LAN. I am not sure if there is one for XP but there is for 2000. It might work
Also try to just FTP the other computer (Mac or PC) from within the network and you should be able to connect at the same speeds. Just make sure to set up a LOGIN name and password on each computer.
"ftp://192.168.1.100
Hope it helps
