The G3 had a 100 gig drive. I am hoping to scan my entire photo collection to this drive and then use the G3 as a server w/ and open directory to all my friends and relatives. I am lost as to how to do it. I have a cable modem that has wireless capability and I use the Dell laptop for work so I bring it home and am always hooked up to the wireless connection. I would like to share files on the G3 but am not sure if all these pieces will support that especially the windows 98 pc. (AMD processor) Is there a kit or a easy tutuorial to get this all to work, or is this idea ridiculously outdated. Any suggestions from anyone would be truly appreciated. Scott Lindberg |

You will need to configure Samba on the Mac in order for your PC's to be able to connect to shares on there.
Read this article for more information: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/11/19/mac_pc.html -------------------- Lawrence

I used to work on the Apple Canada Technical Answerline, but my Mac knowledge is about 4 years out of date. The good thing is the Apple KnowledgeBase has info on this very subject
 Go here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=19652 to read the Article on Networking with a Windows PC. Good Luck
