hello i am new to the list and have little experience with networking. i have a network set up with imacs running 9 or X a g3 beige and a laserwriter pro 630, sometimes even my newton mp2100. i guess i am a node of a bigger newtork because i am in a a classroom of a building w/3 seperate schools and i have a cisco 24 port switch. all things use the switch to access the printer and internet, along with other printers on the network if i choose.
so for now i have two questions 1 i always hear that if file sharing is turned on i get a speed hit, but i want to have a file server. any thoughts about this? 2 i have a IIci that is running 6.0.8 with a network card. i know i am on the appletalk zone because it tells me, and i can access the printers, but i cannot set up the network time control panel because the machine cannot get all the neccesary IP stuff. how do i find this stuff out i.e. domain name, etc.? i know it is very old school but i like to show my students what was available when they were young tykes. thanks for the input jeff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
