Don't worry, I probably won't post much, even if we DO get it working.

I've got a LOT of catching up to do.

Well.. I have an iMac hooked up to a router that just happens to have 2 PCs on it.

It should be possible.

You can connect a mac to a network with PC's on it.

You can connect a PC to a network with Linux boxes on it.

You can connect an Amiga to a network with Crays on it.

Routers are magical, intellegent beings full of faeries.

Just don't put the PC's and Mac next to each other because they might break out into a melee.

Routers are full of tiny gnomes that happily sit there and redirect information all day long. The faeries spend all their time running up and down the network cables carrying packages to the gnomes in the router and the gnomes in the computer.
