There's more than one way to skin a cat :) What you're refering to "networking" here is AppleTalk, which has been dropped from XP. You can also run an FTP server from the Mac or an HTTP server such as MacHTTP, or even use the Macs own Web folder feature. A simple FTP server is nice, as you only need to dump files into a folder, double click the server to start and away you go. The free Hotline FTP server springs to mind (not to be confused with Hotline P2P client), which I have archived if you can't find it via web. > Can the new mini take older ADB peripherals?

USB to ADB was answered earlier, but the mini comes with an adapter for different monitor types. >>>A nix box is good, either a G5 running osX or a PII (lower if need be) >>>running a free nix and serving files to both, Samba for pc and Netatalk >>>for mac. >> >> The best solution IMO, if the OP has room for another PC on his network. A freestanding *nix server running Samba and Netatalk is still the best way to go IMHO.
