html All you'll need is a router and some
cables. The Linksys 4 port router is very
good;

Reply: (edit)The threemacs site is excellent. It's not a big deal getting your Mac on the net via the router - you will have to configure your TCP/IP to recognize the router. It's a bit more problematic to get the computers networked but it can be done. You don't need to be networked to use the router though.

Reply: (edit)It depends on how much you want to do.
we just hooked ours up. "server" is my
Dell, followed by G4 and iMac. We used a
hub and straight thru cables. the trick
was to not use the #1 spot, and put the
modem cable into the uplink. If you want
to share files, this is not the option to use.

Reply: (edit)I just got a Linksys 4 Port Router at
CompUSA last weekend for $99 after
rebate, for the same purpose. Works
great.
