This is just to record my experience trying to get a Windows server to fileshare with an OS 9 client. Just in case someone makes the same google searches I did.
I'm running Windows 7 on the server, and Mac OS 9.2.2 on the Mac (G4 MDD). Some serverside software had to be run in an Ubuntu Virtual Machine.
Protocol - Host software : Client software = Result
NFS - FreeNFS : MacNFS3 = MacNFS Errors. MOUNTD/PCNFSD Not available/responding. Could see shared folder, but not mount it.
NFS - nfs-kernel-server (Ubuntu VM) : MacNFS3 = MacNFS Errors. Same as above. Could see shared folder, but not mount it.
SMB - (built-in) : Connectix Doubletalk = No functionality. (Requires server to be running WinNT 4).
AFP - Netatalk (Ubuntu VM) : AppleShare = Share mounts as read-only. No CIDR functionality.
I'm about to experiment further by running NT Server 4.0 in a VM. That should enable SMB filesharing with Connectix Doubletalk.
