Not a joy to setup but it works and is stable running headless in a cupboard. It serves both mac and pc but doesn't help them see each other. For a time I used a hotline server on different machines to move stuff about (no access from the net to the server). More or less ftp and available to any machine using the hotline client including my 68k macs. ASIP6.3 works quite nicely but is very resource hungry on a beige and not cheap. It also takes over the machine to much PCmaclan works very well, two way communication and a very good printer server for my needs, abit pricey if your buying more than one license as the person that started this thread noted. Anywho, which ever of the above setups I run, moving or logging in from somewhere else requires nothing more than checking IP address. Do you have a reason, apart from ease, for using dhcp addressing? It makes such a mess if the router goes down and doesn't help finding errors in your little network. Easy it is though.
