I've never NW'd multiple PC's together, never saw a use for it over here as far as file sharing goes. All I've done is NW'd the DSL via NIC's and routers. However, it's fairly easy and I know of many that have. I THINK Ben at this list was one that has done it, and Ralph (not the "Earthlink Ralph" ;-)
So....all *I* can tell you is you probably need to have "file and print sharing" turned on for one (and of course the NIC's in each PC and a router). Then you probably need to get the IP's for the other PC's and add them to the router's range as accessible IP's. ? Or something like that. :) BE SURE you get a router WITH a firewall AND also use a software firewall, and ONLY enter the IP range of the shared PC's. With 'file and print sharing' on; this is how hack*rs can get into your PC. Ben, Ralph, (or other) will have to give you any specifics. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 3:45 AM Subject: Re: PCWorks: Outlook on network Thanks Clint but the main point is the calendar and appointments diary, which don't seem to be shareable.
