linking Mac OS9x and Win XP Prof.
I'm by no means new to mac or windows. Regarding networking, however, I'm as green as they come.
I'm attempting to link a compaq sp700workstation (XP Prof) to a biege Apple G3(OS 9.2.2).
My goal is to enable both machines to access the
internet via a single modem, and share files.
Both machines have NIC cards (built-in ethernet for the mac, compaq NC3161 fast ethernet for the windows workstation). I'll use (if I can) an Asante 16 port ethernet hub (FH10T16). I've learned that I'll need either machines IP address to configure the networking protocols for either machine. Incidentally I'm using a broadband modem (cable).
Do I have everything I need? And having all I need is it a simple procedure or will I need prescrip-
tion lenses and have a pinched nerve somewhere in my neck for all my troubles?
Any help at all will be seriously appreciated!
