AppleTalk over NT

Hello, all:

        Does anyone have any experience with Mac-NT compatibility? I want the Mac
to have access to my NT server so that I can move large files across my home
network which is decidedly Windows-based.

        Here's the setup. NT4 Server has the Services for Macintosh installed. The
NT configuration is set for routing, seeding the network, and a node range
of 11-254.

        The IIci has an Asante NuBus Ethernet card which passes internal
diagnostics and indicates "link". So, I know the connection to my hub is
good.

        I have the AppleShare 3.0.1 client installed. The ci runs System 7.0.1.
Re-reading the NT docs, I'm supposed to see the AppleShare icon in the
Chooser, which I don't. I only see AppleTalk. Hmmm...

        I configured the MacTCP to point to my firewall for Internet access. Maybe
this should point to the NT Server? It's a private subnet configuration
where the NT server is for file and print sharing only; the Internet
connection is through a broadband firewall/router.

        Any thoughts?
