First i must say, that I am a absolute beginner with the Mac... now you know. And here is my Problem: I have a Win2003 Server with a 80GB Harddisk shared for access over network. The Mac is connected and everything works fine, but the size of the folder (in MacOS) is only about 2GB (it should be 80..) Is there any OS-limitation as known from FAT16/Win?? (the windows-clinets dont have this Problem) Please help.

It's not Mac OS 8 is it?
Mac OS 8and before had a 2 Gig startup partition limit. I presume it's the same for the networks. It's not that it thinks there's only 2 gigs of space on the Windows machine, it's just it can't see beyond the 2 gigs. You should still be able to write beyond two gigs though.
My OS 8 machine with a 4 gig hard drive does it. It is networked to my OS 9 machine with a 10 gig hd, but the OS 8 machine only registers 2 gb's on the OS 9 machine.
