Something tells me I may be attempting the impossible here. But here goes.
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!
