You can continue to run the Netware server (you don't say what version) as a file server and if you're running Directory Services with Netware 5.x then you can include Win 2K clients in that as well. You should install NWLink on each client. This link details the general procedure http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/incremental/netware.asp
