This forums is great... i really appreciate all the help you gave me on my numerous topics everywhere on the forum...

Thanks to you, i now have a broadband connection of my own :p
Its all fine and good...

The only thing i havent set up is the router... Which by the by, i have a question for...

Will a PC talk to a MAC on networking? I got a Lynksys cable/dsl router, and my dad's ancious to get the fast connection on his computer...

Thoughts here are appreciated...
Thanks

Yes a PC will "Talk to a Mac" TCP/IP is the same on both. However you won't be able to share files.

You have the 4 port linky?

Not true. You can share files between Windows and Macintosh computers, however, it's not a very easy thing to do. You would have to run a 3rd party packaged like DAVE or PCMACLAN, be running OSX 10 with SAMBA support or run a Linux server with SAMBA installed and configured.

As for sharing the connection with the Macintosh it is accomplished by using TCP/IP instead of AppleTalk as the protocol. Configure the Mac to obtain an IP by DHCP and your good to go.
