Guys,

Gonna bring my powerbook in tomorrow and want to hook it up to the network. Now is it going to be as easy as banging in a cat5 cable from the mac to the router and job done or do I need something else?

cheers

everytime I've networked a Mac its been, plug it in then, erm thats it straight on to Windows network.

(assuming you have Panther, or Jaguar at minimum)

As long as you have it setup to DHCP and it's a DHCP network, I just plug mine in, wait a minute and i'm ready to go....

Getting an IP is the easy part

Will you be wanting to browse a Windows Domain, log onto an Active Directory server, access the internet through a proxy, print to a shared printer?

thanks guys!

No just access the net really thru the router which has got a built in adsl modem so it should be straight forward.

Thanks for the link alex
