[Use-revolution] RE: Networking

[Monte Goulding]

Thats a good idea. I'll check it out. It's really pissing me off because the
main reason I wanted a network was to transfer files easily between the PC
and Mac for testing and standalone building. These things shouldn't be so
hard when everything else is just plug and play.

Monte,

I just went through the same hassle tonight. I ended up using Microsoft
Personal Web Server on my Mac and put files there. I could then easily
transfer them to my PC by opening up a browser with the IPAddress of my Mac
and downloading the files directly to my PC. It's fast and cheap (free) from
Microsoft. Go to the downloads section there and search on MacOS and
Personal Web Server.

To everyone who has helped with this

Thanks ;-)

I'm just checking out the two main options Dave and DoubleTalk. Seeing as I
am more Windows oriented and my fastest computer runs Win XP I'm going to go
for the "disguise Mac as a PC options".

Regards to all

Monte

Thanks for this info.  Problem for me is, my Windows network rarely works
correctly, much less is it as easy to setup/manage as a Mac network. :-)

Scott
