Default Re: OT: Getting a home network going

From my experience, those two platforms (Mac OS and Windows XP) cannot talk to each other directly (peer to peer) without some additional peer2peer software or a server in between.

IOW, you can't connect them outa' the box; you need something in the middle added in there (server, 3rd party software, web server, ftp server, email, etc.) In my experience, you're far better off setting them up to talk to each other using TCP/IP and forget about AppleTalk in peer to peer environments.

As stated, if you had a 2003 server, you could use that as a middle-man but not all of us have all the goodies. (I have one but that's beside the point.) And if you must do peer2peer, you'll probably have better luck getting the Mac to talk Windows vs. the other way around...
