OS X file sharing setup question

Running a new G-5 1.6 gHz model with standard OS 10.2.7. NOT running
Apple's Server OS.
I have the hard drive partitioned into three drives, one of which I want to
share with the other 6 computers on our network. Currently running OS9 on
the other machines.
The G-5's partitions and access needs are as follows:
"System" partition: No one needs network access
"Server" partition: Everyone needs network access. I set up a group
for this, see below.
"Office" partition Only one other user needs access.
When attempting to connect to the G-5's "Server" drive via OS9 Chooser,
there's an error "The connection to this server has been unexpectedly
broken."
I went through the OSX Missing Manual book, Networking chapter, section on
Managing Groups. Using NetInfo Manager I set up a group of users and then
assigned that group access privileges for the "Server" partition in
question.
I can connect to the G-5 using the IP address, but the "Server" partition is
only available to users with Admin privileges on the G-5. And with those
Admin privileges the other two partitions are also available, which I don't
want.
Any advice on how to set this up properly would be appreciated.
