Network PC & Mac
I know sum1 that wants to connect to the internet with broadband using an
internal ADSL modem. Is it possible to connect a Mac laptop to it so the Mac can use the same connection? -- ----------- Nick |

You say it's an *internal* DSL modem? If it is indeed internal to a PC
running Windows, install a NIC in the PC and then use a *crossover* patch cable to connect to the Macintosh. Set up Internet Connection Sharing on the PC or use some gateway software to allow the PC to act as the host/gateway to the internet. Then, just set up TCP/IP on the Mac with the appropriate data. I've done this at work with a Mac G3 that was sitting next to a PC that was connected to the network and it worked great. It was much easier than running a new drop from the hub in the attic. -Steve Nick wrote in message ... I know sum1 that wants to connect to the internet with broadband using an internal ADSL modem.
