The goal is to allow macs running OS 9 to access storage on a server 2003 PC.
Having browsed the net for what i find and extansive amount of time, I have
not managed to find any information on how you accomplish the above goal,
though I have found out that this is possible via server 2003's built-in
capabilities.
(Due to access restrictions on my account i cannot experiment but have to
guide the administrative user to do this:S)

Yes, Windows Server 2003 comes with File Services for Macintosh. Guide
your server admin to Start --> Help on the server itself. He should find
plenty of information there. He can search on terms such as "Macintosh",
"Mac volumes", "File Services for Macintosh", etc.

Hope this helps! bill
