I have two separate networks in our small print/design company. An office(PC) network, and an art department(Mac) network. This doubles my overall workload with cabling and wireing and we are in the process of migrating from 10Base-T to 100Base-T. My PC’s are serviced by a wireless DSL gateway to our local ISP and everything is peer-to-peer with a primary file server on each network. The network has a history of instability when the two networks are joined, and my preceding IT specialists were unable to maintain the single network. I am limited in the short-term because of the older model PowerPC Mac’s in my art department. I don’t fully understand their networking structures.
Can someone suggest some research material, websites, or forums where I can get more on top of this problem?
Thank you,
