Hi Melanie, Since your Performa 580 and iBook both have ethernet, the easiest thing to do to share your internet connection is connect all three to a router (hardware or software). IIRC you can share the Stylewriter 4500 using Printer Share, but you will need Localtalk Bridge. My networking page has some info that might apply to your situation - <http://www.tangerinecs.com/~amber/network.html> - as well as links to other sites about networking and file/printer sharing.
HTH! Good luck and have fun! :) Amber on 4/17/02 10:55 AM, Melanie watts at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > HI, > > I will be buying one of those G4 imacs.
