Hello
I have an existing W98 machine which is networked directly (no hub) to a Mac Powerbook using appletalk PCMACLAN. Now I need to add to this network an XP PC. Can this be done? I am pretty new to networking and have read up on many of the tutorials and think I can link to two PC's up using TCIP and a singe crossover lead but then I'd loose my mac connection, so it looks like I need a hub, but then would the mac be happy on this?
Anyway I'd appriciate any assistance any of you are able to offer.
Thanks
