You can connect them, but without 3rd party software about all you can do is use the XP box to share an internet connection. XP Pro does have Telnet and FTP and Web server services you can run and access from your Mac with Telnet, FTP and web browser software. You can even use Telnet to launch programs on the PC. One other thing you can do is run VNC and remotely operate the Mac from the PC or the PC from the Mac. www.realvnc.com It's freeware. But to share files, folders and printers you need Thursby's DAVE on the Mac or PC MacLAN on the PC. If your PC had Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server or Server 2003 (or NT 3.51 or 4 Server) you could install Services For Macintosh and be able to access shared stuff on the PC. Microsoft was going to have SFM in Windows XP Pro but dropped it somewhere along. The XP Help wil tell you all about the XP Services For Macintosh that doesn't exist! The info may even still be on Microsoft's TechNet website. ===== It WAS total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org Didn't go? Fandemonium 2005 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
