OK this has probably been asked a thousand times before, sorry...
I'm trying to network a Win 2000 system and iMac OS X 10.1 using a crossover cable. This is basically to share the dial-up connection (usb modem if it matters) on the 2000 system with the Mac, and basic file sharing. I've searched this site and the web and ended up more confused than when I started.
Now the real problem I'm not that farmiliar with networking. I've only had this Mac a few weeks, never used a Mac before. I'm pretty much lost so if you have any suggestions please dumb it down, assume I know nothing about Macs and OS X 'cause I don't (and even less about OS 9 - haven't touched it).
If you need any other info about the setup let me know. I'll be upgrading to Win XP soon, if networking OS X and XP differs greatly than 2000 any advice would be appreciated.
Sorry for the massive request.
Thanks
