Hello,
I'm trying to use my PC on a network with my gf's Mac G5 and PC Notebook. We are using a Router to connect to the Internet and all machines are connected to this router which works fine. I've used 'set up a home or small office network'/connect through a hub in WinXP. However I can't connect to my gf's Mac and Notebook (which is running Win2k). She has no probs accessing her Mac and Notebook from each other but my PC seems to be on the outside. I can't see her machines on my Network Window and she can't see my PC.
Could somebody tell me what are the best steps to do to get it working with such a constellation?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Inorder to get both mac and pc to 'see' each other over the LAN, u need to install a piece of software onto the MAC machine called 'DAVE' ... you will then have full LAN interactivity. Its available from 'Jigsaw' at about £90 + VAT for V5 or if u ask me very nicely I might be able to locate a copy of V4 4 u ;-)
