| 436259 | 2006-03-07 04:39:00 | Currentally at home we have 3 PC's running on an adsl router, they can all use the adsl and are all networked making shared files avaliable on other computers. Now if I was to try and hook a iBook G3 running Mac OS 10 up to this network would it be able to access the adsl and/or files on the other computers? What problems in compatability could I expect? Note: One of the home computers is running Windows 98, and the other two are running Windows XP home SP2. |

It was considered more robust than the actual Macintosh server, though there was some trouble with long filenames. This is going back a ways though. | kingdragonfly (309) | ||

On the Linux side of things, Netatalk works real well as an Apple File Server. Windows 2000 server has Services for Macintosh. good site to look at (www.macwindows.com) Although as Graham L says just use built-in samba software in OS X. You can control the Samba server on OS X more by using Sharepoints (www.hornware.com). |
