How Do I Network Mac And Pc?

[sleepyjohn]

I need to network my iBook and a PC I'm buying, with two aims.

1. So I only need one combo drive.....I want to be able to play and burn discs from either computer.

2. So the 2 computers can mutually back up each other.

Is this possible?

How?

Thanxalot!!

I hope you have plenty of headache tablets my friend I think you ay well need them.

The networking part is fairly straight forward you can use either a fixed cable/hub solution or wireless via a Apple Airport. You need to asign each a static IP address, enable file saring on both devices and possibly create local user acounts for cross login.\

Take a look at these How To's for detailed instructions...

As for sharing resources you will need a device that is supprted by both Mac and XP as well as support software.

Thought about running XP on your iBook?
