This is for a boarding school, Lots of kids have brought in their own machines from home. Currently there is no network logon's What would be the best solution to getting all of the different computers behind a network?

I am having the same problem on a
smaller scale. Can you provide some
direction on how to connect an iMAC OS
9.2 to a Windows xp over a home network
connected by linksys router?

Thanks

Jonathan

What you are asking is still a little vague but if I
understand you correctly then To allow them to talk to
each other you must use a program such as DAVE or PC/
MacLan.

If you just want to just allow them all in the same network
enviornment then you need a server software to start.

The cheapest way is Linux because its free, but if you
don't know Linux it would be difficult.

You can look on ebay for Windows Server or OS X server

If there is something more specific then please let me
know
