    Hi Jon!

    Let's simplify this a little first. Unless you are using your SBS server as
    a router to connect two different Appletalk networks, you don't need to have
    Appletalk routing enabled nor do you need any zones.

    For your connect problem, how are your Macintosh settings configured in the
    Computer Management MMC? You can right-click Shared Folders and view the
    Macintosh configuration. You may need to set the logon to allow both
    Microsoft and Apple cleartext passwords. You can optionally choose to
    install the Microsoft UAM from
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windows200
    0sfm on your Macs.

    Hope this helps! bill
