Dave,
Both machines have etherNet cables running to a hub and are using
TCP/IP protocol. There are other PC's on this (peer-to-peer) network
as well and I have no problem with shared resources or folders among
the PC's. But no PC hard drive icon has *ever* appeared on the
desktop of the Mac and I have *never* seen *anything* PC on the Mac
except the "Host" radio button when opening the Mac as guest of the
host PC with ebase and FMP. I really do hope I am wrong because what
you have suggested would be so wonderful! But the notion of copying
anything on the hard drive of a PC or from a PC's shared folder to a
Zip drive on the Mac without additional (expensive) software
completely baffles me. Please set me right if this can really be done.
Henry
