I want to make a physical LAN by wiring 3 computers to a network router. I don't want to connect them through wireless when I am not using the Internet; main reason? The internet corrupts my XP!
So, I disconnect them form the internet and power the ethernet router. This is what I have. (1) Ethernet router to which all 3 PCs below are hardwired (2) a 10.5.8 OS, 2.66 GHz, Intel core 2 Duo Imac (3) Windows XP PC (4) G4 PPC notebook, 10.3.9, 800 MHz There seems to be a problem with the XP seeing the iMac and the G4 seeing the XP. The two Macs talk between them, the problem is the XP. I had wired the XP to the router with a simple ethernet cable, but I could see from the LEDS that it was not in the network, so I wired it with a crossover cable to the router. Fine, now I can see it is in the network--somewhat. ======================================================= Problem: The XP cannot see the HD of the iMac and the G4 cannot see the XP though teh G$ can see the iMac. So, the question is, what settings do I have to twick t make this happen? ======================================================= Thanks for all your contributions to solve this problem -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
