I'm using a WinNT server (25GB HD) with mac clients. Apparently the mac shows a max of 1.9 GB even though the disk is 25GB large!! How can this be fixed?

This is not a problem with NT but a problem with the Mac OS client. I bet your Mac is using an OS below 9.0. You see this problem was fixed with Mac OS 9.0. Unfortunately any Mac OS below 9.0 can only see 2GB of space regardless of how much space you have on the server, this happens in Novell too. Don't worry though, even if the Mac sees 2GB of space it can still utalize all of the space you have allocated on the Server, the only thing you will have to remember is that you will have to transfer file from the Mac to the Server in 2GB increments or less, any more and the Mac will error out and tell you that their is not enough space.
