Can any Guru out there tell me how easy (or difficult) it is to run a Mac on
a Windows based network? Or whether I have posted this in the right
newsgroups?
I have a PC, Laptop and a Pocket PC running through a router, and I have
just acquired an old Mac. I would like to network the Mac into the system as
well, to use as a design tool.
Cheers,
Ed

There is NG microsoft.public.win2000.macintosh.
The main component you need is a common protocol either TCP/IP or AppleTalk.

So, theoretically, I should be able to plug the Mac into my Router, and
Bob's your Uncle? With a bit of jiggery pokery it should work? I run Win XP,
and, In think, Mac OS 8 or 9

If you don't have OSX on the Mac, you'll need something like PCMacLan (if
it's still available) or DAVE if you want to share files/printers/whatnot.
