You can use this type of networking with just 2 computers; you don't have to have a 'net connection or a hub or any of that; you could just hook the two together with a crossover cable and use the same networking setup; just switch it from DHCP to Manual and assign it a number like 192.168.1.x, where x is any number between 0 and 255. -Should I add this to the site, you think?

I suppose i never gave it a fair shake either, but I would rather, to be honest, work with a Macintosh end-solution than one designed for Windows. I love the Mac OS. >> Thanks for the comments, I work hard to make it look nice. >> > > Don't see why you'd wont to buy Dave after reading your site so far but > I look forward to the screen shots. Because, to date, NO version of Windows (not even Windows 2003 .Net Server, supports file-sharing over Appletalk. Printer-sharing, sure. The only way to do this, thus far, is to create a 'virtual' disk on the PC, which is a Mac volume. You then swap files back and forth in this manner. Not the most fantastic solution. DAVE, by contrast, allows direct mounting of disk drives, which is what we (6 people live with my wife and I) feel is the most simple and straightforward solution. > These walk through type pages are very easy to follow, I envy your > patience.
