we share the blue yonder connection at home with an imac and a win98 PC. you need to add an extra (i.e. 2) network cards into the PC and use internet connection sharing with win98 se or above. if you install zone alarm on the PC you can use that as a firewall for you Mac. you'll need an Ethernet hub as well so you can connect Mac to PC or though it might work with a crossover cable (not sure) - we got the hub off ebay for 25 quid and it works a treat. also allows you to add extra machines into the network if you feel the need. If you are in a telewest or ntl area you can get adsl for less than 30 notes a month which also includes the cable modem. --- Mike Karthauser - email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - phone:0117 9426653 brightstorm - curiously online - http://www.brightstorm.co.uk -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
