however syncing/backup/package install/keyboard (via NCU) over
ethernet will only work on a mac since it uses EtherTalk (which is
AppleTalk over ethernet) rather than IP, NetBEUI, or IPX (which are
what Windows understands).

it's a limitation of NCU for Windows and does not work even on NT
server with the AppleTalk stack, sadly.
