[thelist] network MAC and PC in home office

[Justin Zachan]

Hey there.

 

I have a MAC and a PC both connected to a router. The router is connected to
a modem and both connect to the internet fine.

 

What I would like to do is have the MAC and PC link to each other i.e. open
a file that resides on the MAC, on the PC or vice versa.

 

Can I use the router for this? Do I need to link the MAC and PC via
Ethernet? Or do I need software or hardware etc? Even better if the
computers could share printers also.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers

 

Justin
