MY error, I did not mean wireless in the forst sentence.. OK . Correction: My goal is to do with cables... The wireless is in another room and I don't want to connect them (cause I could) with wires to that router-- cause it can work also. On Nov 19, 4:50 pm, John Niven sense...@yahoo.com

As it happens, I found out how to make this happen in the iMac. the G4 has ”windows sharing among the options, the iMac does not. You have to dig to find out how to do that. I thought the sharing options had more to do with the OS version of the software more so than the platform you are

I deduct from what Martin said, that you are right and not right at the same time. You can find the SMB option in leopard a leopard snow but not in the OS 10.3.9 that runs in my G4. But then it is related to platform since you need that to be set in order to have the XP access the 10.5.x OS

I don't understand what you want at all. One minute you say that you want to create a hardwired local only network, then you speak of wireless routers. Is your DYNEX router giving out DHCP address to your local network? I asked this before, but you seem determined not to give clear answers.
