Mac to PC Network

I need a step by step guide on networking a Mac to a PC. I have Win2k. This is my setup...

Win2k machine hosting Workgroup and File Share
Win98SE machine sharing printer
Linksys Router/Switch
Mac Laptop

I need to be able to print off of this Mac. Is there anyway I can allow it to access the printer shared on the Win98 machine?
Or, if not, how do I share files so that I can save them on one of the computers then print seperately?

Is there a webpage that will guide me through this?

Thx
 
Hi there,

well the only way I know how to share files and printers through a pc and a mac is through a program call Dave. Dave is a program made by Thursby Software and their website is a http://www.thursby.com. I hope this will help you out, and I also think that there are some other software programs that do the same thing too.


Take Care

Would it be possiable to share the printer on the Win2K machine? I believe that Win2K have the AppleTalk protocol that would allow Mac to share File and Print on PCs.
