Appletalk, W2K and HDD usage....

[Shuxclams]

I have a W2K server with a shared drive that is shared via File Services for Mac and standard Windows machines, seems that the Mac clients show a folder as being 1.1MB but on the server its 31MB, does anyone know why this would be?

Windows 2000 does not read a MAC filesystem correctly. Have you tried looking at the share from a client other than a MAC to see if you do get the same size?

Also, I would look into a program called Convertions Plus or MacOpener 2000 from DataViz.

So the MAC is seeing correctly? or the W2K server is correct?

I would say that your MAC clients are OK. I would get the program I mentioned to be absolutely sure.

Well the Windows machines see the folder the same as the MAC so I assume it has to do with being a share with both types of access on it.
