Well i am a PC guy and i recently aquired a apple laptop. I have heard in the past that it is possible to cross network apple and pc, if so how do i do it? I understand it all from the PC side i just need help with the apple side of things. I am a retard when it comes to apple and appletalk. Can anyone help me? I am using linksys router if that helps


Edit: Of it helps also i am pretty sure its a G3 laptop (sorry if not i dont know my apple models) and i think its running the apple 9.2. ( sorry again i dont have the laptop sitting right next to me. The only reason i got this laptop was my friend was getting rid of it and he was selling it for a really good price
Edit over

Sorry to do this to you guys during build season ;)

Here is a good guide

Edit:
Oh I didn't read your edit of the post.
Basically there is no built in support for Windows Sharing in OS9. You must purchase some software like Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html).

You can however download some software (free I think) that can act as an FTP server. You can then access the mac via FTP.

There might be a couple of more suggestions in the Low end Mac Website (http://www.lowendmac.com/)

Buy a copy of MAC OS X. Then start learning. OS 9.2 is very obsolete and not worth your effort. Since OS X is a unix variant getting it to talk with a PC is not so hard. Look at Samba. It's a package for unix.
http://www.freshmeat.net is a good place for free software. (Including samba)
Much of that software runs on OS X.

OS 9.2 is very obsolete.I would disagree here. I have two machines runing 7.5 serving web pages 24/7. www.classicserver.net

Old Macs never die.
