My wife brought home a Mac from scool because she needs
to learn more on it for labs next school year. SHe asked
me if I could network it with our 3 XP Pro machines and
like a dunce I said "oh sure honey! No problem".
Sooooooo? Can I? hehe. I am looking for any advice I can
get.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Chuck!

What version of Mac OS is your Mac running? If Mac OS 9 or earlier
you'll need third party software such as Dave from
<http://www.thursby.com> or PC MacLAN from <http://www.miramar.com>. If
Mac OS X you'll most like have a version that can use its built in SMB
networking. Refer to the Mac's Help menu for this.

Hope this helps! bill
