Thanks for the replies, I've tried PC MacLAN in a illegal way (I couldn't find the shareware version anywhere!), but I still have to buy the switch, and insert the Ethernet card on the LCIII (it is from another LCIII, but that one is not at my house, I do not have the room for more than 5 computers! (and my mother is already starting to complain ;-)
If I use PC MacLAN, all I have to do is to install the software on the PCs, connect the cables, and configure both Macs and PCs, right? I don't have to install some software in the Macs? 7.5.1 works as well as 7.6.1 in such matters, right? I also have an Internet connection in one of my PCs (it's an USB ADSL modem, and as I don't have any USB ports in my vintage Macs...). The PC is running Windows XP. Can I share the Internet connection with the Macs I own, like that thing in Windows XP? It was not for browsing, only for putting my 9-year-old brother checking his e-mail on is LCIII... And I could get my SE/30 running a web server... Greetings (by the way, I'm doing a page about Macs (mainly OLD Macs). Its primary language is Portuguese, but I could try making an English version...) Manuel Jorge M.

I also use a combination of netatalk and samba on my linux file server; it works incredibly well. It's also fairly easy to set up netatalk, especially if you install it from a linux package. (.tgz, .deb, or .rpm) It also makes it really simple sharing between the one Windoze machine in the house and the classic macs.
