I am curently running a network consiting of 4 PC's, a P1 166 MHZ using Windows ME which has a Epson 600 Q printer, a P1 120 MHZ using Windows 98 SE, a P3 1 GHZ using Windows 98 SE which has a Canon BJC-4100 printer and a P1 300 MHZ Running Windows 2000 Advanced Server which allows sharing of both printers. All these computers work fine on the network, sharing internet and printers. I also own the following Macs, a 7200/75 running OS 8.1, a IIvx running a version of 7 (I have yet to get a monitor for the machine, and there is no ethernet card for it yet so it doesn't matter) and a Powerbook Laptop(unknown version), running OS 9.0 . Both the 7200/75 and the Laptop are able to access the network using TCP/IP Ethernet DHCP Settings. Lastly, I have BasiliskII, a Mac Emulator (http://www.uni-mainz.de/~bauec002/B2Main.html), which is a 680 x 0 emulator, that can access the internet using TCP/IP Ethernet DHCP Settings running OS 8.1 in a Mac Quandra 950 mode. However, I understand that Windows 2000 has apple talk ability. Therefore, does that mean I am able to share files and printers with the Mac OS. If so, how can I configure the machines to do so. I have no idea how to do this so any instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx
