214571 2004-02-11 07:27:00 I have a network running through a hub that has windows98, windowsME and windowsXP already on the network.
I have now got a Mac machine that I want to install to the network.
Can this be done and if so how.

Cheers

214572 2004-02-11 07:43:00 Yes. But details on the Mac OS would assist. Is It OS X or a Classic Mac OS? And is there a Nic in the Mac machine? mark.p (383)
214573 2004-02-11 08:33:00 try and hire out a macguide or macworld magazine from a library, or try the macguide (http://www.macguide.co.nz) forums Megaman (344)
214574 2004-02-12 01:21:00 Sorry for not replying sooner it's for OS X operating system xineohp (3165)
214575 2004-02-12 01:36:00 Mac OS X, since it is based on BSD Unix, is better at TCP/IP networking than Microsoft will ever be. :D There will be a clever thing to set it up, I'm sure.

What they do with each other's files might be another matter. If you have Microsoft Word or Office on the Mac, you should be OK. Email, http, and other plaintext based stuff, will be "no" trouble.
