    In my home I have a PC with XPpro on it, and a MAC with OS9.2
    :eek:
    I remember there was a way to share a folder in NT for mac users, where is it hiding in XP ?

    TIA

    This can be problematical at best and a nightmare at worst. If you have frequent file changes it may be worth it.
    But if you only need to transfer a few files, use Hotline. We run a real managerie of systems here and Hotline has a client out for most of them. We have a dedicated server and it hosts the files. By far the least trouble of any set up we have tried.

    mmm...

    Thanks, but that doesnt make sence... to transfare files all over the internet instead of inside the net?

    I use this feature a lot at work, but I have servers there.. not pro...

    Hotline is a LOCAL server, you download a copy and start your own server. Then sign on with a local client. I have used it on ships, far from any internet access.
    HL also clears up any file sharing problems between Win98/2000/XP, Mac, QNX, and Linux.

    for download

    Hotline is an awesome tool for a community builder. File sharing is easy, administration options are vast, chatting and bulletin boards are available. You can view text, pictures, and play movies directly from the Hotline client and all without an internet connection.

    I think NT had the ability to use AppleShare, the Apple's Networking protocol.

    You should be able to share the Mac using TCP/IP and all should work fine with Mac OS 9.

    Hey thats a ryme, so I am a poet and I don't know it :)
