Hello All,

I've just been given a PC with a EtherNet card
and W95 (of which I know little), installed in it.

I was wondering what I would need to add to the PC
so I can file share (AppleShare) with my Mac via
the EtherNet connection ?

Thanks in advance for any info.


Kind regards,


Sean.

Thre are two solutions to this, both third party as Microsoft stopped
supporting appletalk within Windows with the transition from V2.0 to
V3.0

Either:
1. Install PC MacLan Connect V6.0 on the PC. This solution has been
around for a while and is supposed to be rairly stable. Available from
most mac resellers.

or:
2. Install a product called Dave on the Mac. This is a newer product,
rumoured to be more difficult to configure, but cheaper than 1.
Available from Mygate & some other resellers.

I would reccomed 1 if your network is mainly Macs, 2 if mainly PCs

Hope this helps

An el cheapo solution which I have used is to set up the Mac as an FTP
server and establish an ethernet connection between the two using TC/IP. I
found it a bit fiddly as I'm no computer whiz but it does work and the
programs - like WS ftp - are free or share wares. PC Maclan costs 150 pounds
or more, I think.

A late follow up, but one really useful thing you can do with the PC is
install Linux and netatalk and make the PC into a cheap server, router,
and print server. With a little messing about you can make any printer
which connects to a parallel port into a Postscript printer.

Nice.
