First of all: My XP comp is dead. The one I'm talking about is a Win
2000 Server comp, even though it's chip is Athlon "XP"
Second of all: Almost all versions of windows have internet connection
sharing built in
Third of all: how do I set my Mac to access the shared internet
connection/auto obtain the IP? I've already got it on the ethernet network.
Thanx,
ES
