Is there an easy way to share files between a Mac and a PC. I picked up a Hub, but I can't figure out how to set up file sharing between the two. I basically want to be able to do production on the Mac and burn the final product on the PC as well as sample on the PC and transfer to the Mac for production. Right now I am using a free internet file storage site, my cd burner, and a 128mb smart media reader/writer to do the swapping. I would much rather drag and drop.
Thank, Rick |

Window File sharing and AppleShare File Sharing can't directly talk to each other:
You need to have a client software on one of the two machine: - On windows there's a soft called PC MacLan (enable the PC to see the appleshare network) - on Mac there's Dave (enable the Mac to see the Windows file sharing) - on linux, there's Netatalk which talk to Appleshare and Samba which talk to Windows file sharing.... FOr your cable-modem, you should REALLY buy a router: its cheap, really easy to install (buy a netgear for example), really more convenient, and it secure your connection to the net, plus add lot of cool features.... BTW there is also a cool FREE utility, VNC, which can be used to remotly control any other computer on the network (LAN or WAN), whatever it's a PC, a mac or a linux OS It can be cool if the computers are not in the same room or if you want to access your machine, remotly, from anywhere in the world (it can even work on a simple net browser) HTH -------------------- Soif, MacMusic Webmaster
