:
: Windows Server 2003 running Services for Macintosh
: UAM volumn set up on the server that the Mac can see (this is
all the mac

: The GS can see the Mac's hard drive just fine, but it can't see
past the
: mac.
: I created an Alias on the Mac's drive that when you
double-click on it, it
: opens up the UAM folder on the Server, but the GS can't see
this Alias.

: So...what I have to do to transfer files is:
:
: 1. copy any files I need to the UAM folder on the Server
: 2. Go to the mac and copy the files to the local hard drive
: 3. Then go to the GS and copy the files down from the mac.

: I know there's got to be a way to see the Server directly from
the GS, but
: I've yet to figure it out.

My setup was easy, albeit the PC couldn't
see the GS, it could see the Mac, and the
Mac couldn't see the GS, it could see the
PC, the GS could see both the PC and Mac.
Quite the quandary, but still it was a
solid set up. what I did was run the serial
line from the printer port of the GS, running
AppleTalk to the Printer port of the Mac,
running AppleTalk. Next I ran an ethernet line
from the Mac to my router and installed the
Localtalk bridge on the Mac and PC-MacLan on
the PC. Now everyone could talk to each other
as described above. Not pretty, but the GS
could access anything on the PC and on the Mac.
I could download on the PC, then go to the GS
and transfer it over, or send it straight to
the Mac. BTW, this was a PowerMac 7100. This
same setup also worked with the LC. I hope
my ramblings made some sense.  :o)
