How do I share files and stuff? I'm running the PC on WinME and the Powerbook on OS9. I've shared 2 of my desktop folders already (My Docs and Downloads). How do I configure the powerbook so that I see it on the PC and vice versa? Or is this not possible? I just want to be able to open certain documents like .docs or mp3s.

Thanks.

BTW, I'm using the SMC Barricade 7004BR and Earthlink DSL with the Westell external modem.

To share folders between the two you either need to run PCMacLan on the PC or DAVE on the Mac. No other way to do it with the OS'es you are running. Each of those programs costs about $150. In my opinion running DAVE on the Mac is easier. That's what I run on my PowerBook.

Also look into Connectix's Doubletalk. I personally like the interface much more than DAVE though both do basically the same exact thing. I believe Doubletalk may be cheaper than DAVE but I haven't looked at pricing in a long time. :) DoubleTalk is for the mac btw.
