I did that a few weeks ago, it's pretty easy. You do not need any other hardware. Concerning the soft part, microsoft has added an internet connection sharing utility to it's Windows OS since Windows 98SE. So if you have Win98SE or above, you are all done. I did that with system 7.5 on the powerbook, i guess that it should work with system 7.1 but i have never tried. All you have to do is : 1) install (if it's not allready installed) the internet sharing utility on Windows (using "add/remove programs") 2) on the mac, choose to get the IP address via DHCP Could you tell us what OS you have on the PC and on the mac so we could tell you more precisly what are the differents steps to go through. >Thanks! - Kevin that's a pleasure :-) Mehdi -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
