I use a PC running Linux, samba and netatalk (that also shares the
broadband link). Since I never found a 100 Mbps ethernet board for a SE
or LC, I suppose a 10 or 10/100 Mbps hub will do. The 100 Mbps machines
may complain a bit, but it still works smoothly. Many switches refuse to
work with many 10 Mbps boards.

Hello,
I own some 68k Classic Macintoshes, and also a couple of Wintel machines.
All five of them have a network adapter. I was wondering here if I could
connect them all in a home network - what shall I use, knowing that I'm a
newbie in home networks?
The two Wintel PCs have both Windows Xp and Linux installed; also got a
SE/30 with Mac OS 7.5.1, a LCIII with 7.6.1, and a IIci, whose operating
system is unknown to me, because its PSU is dead; I'm waiting for a new one.
Any suggestions? Shall I use a hub, a switch, or what? Sharing Internet
access is not a priority to me, what I wanted was a easy file sharing, and
some sort of way of playing Strategic Conquest Plus via network (in the
68k's) and sharing a printer (printing via the LCIII's serial port is simply
slowwwwww)
Waiting for answers.
