I was trying to get this old LaserWriter IIf on the home network so all these computer could share it.
The IIf is hooked up to the Mac IIci which is hooked up to the homenetwork via ethernet. It also has localtalk bridge on.
I went into my Win2k box and went under the start menu, control panels, network connections, local area connection, properties, general tab, and highlighted internet protocol, clicked install, clicked "protocol" and added AppleTalk. This only works on Windows 2000, XP doesnt support AppleTalk.
Then went to start, control panels, printers, add printers, local printer, create a new port (type AppleTalk Printing Devices). It should detect any AppleTalk printers, when you click ok don't "capture" it or it will only be available to your 2K box.
Share the printer. Any other systems on your network should be able to print to it, however all your printing has to pass through your 2K box and then through your Mac.
Does anyone know how to set up a fileserver on a Win2K box for Macs? Also, does an SE/30 accept PowerPC accelerators?
