How to connect a Windows client to an OSX Server with AFP [closed]

We are using OSX servers and clients with AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) and want to connect the only Windows (Vista x64) client to the server shares without having to enable SMB. Is there still any AFP client for Windows available?

All that I've found are Windows AFP servers, but that's not what we need.

Can Windows connect to AFP?

The answer to your original question is YES, you can conenct Windows and AFP networks. This is usually done through setting up SMB and the proper permissions.

How do I connect to AFP Server?

Go to the Finder and click "Go" in the Finder menu, then select "Connect to Server." This will bring up the Connect to Server dialog box. Here you can enter the IP address that you want to connect to.

"AFP". That brings me back.

I'd go with SMB for the simple reason that I'd trust Apple or whoever to correctly implement SMB before I'd trust Microsoft or whoever to properly implement AFP. Not because of relative competence, but because AFP is strange, and does things in unexpected ways.

I've implemented an AFP server, so learned this the hard way.
