Well we solved the Mac connectivity thing, after we found a guy who had some Mac experience. He got one Mac to see a shared CD-ROM on another Mac. MacTCP does things really goofy! Instead of dotted quad notation of octets (i.e. 192.168.100.11), it uses big decimal numbers (i.e. subnet = 12626020). The solution was to convert each octet to hex, string 'em together and then convert that to decimal. And I figured that out before 3 MCSE's did! OK so 2 were MCSE students but I guess they are inherently tuned to "The Microsoft Way" of doing things, haha.
