Note: The instructions for Classic Networking/MacTCP have not been tested by myself, however we have recieved word that it does work. We have not tried this program with NT Technology, but it should work as well.

1) Download or Buy Dave from Thursby.

2) Install Dave.

3) Reboot if asked.

4a) Open Open Transport and Insert the following.

Connect Via: Ethernet

Config: Manual

IP Address: 192.168.0.2 (or other number)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Router: 192.168.0.1

Name Server Address: 192.168.0.1 (and any other IPs for PC's) and (remember in Chapter 2 for Local Networks fopr Win 9x/Me, the DNS Server Search Order. Insert those numbers as well).

4b) Make sure Ethernet is selected. Press the More button. Insert the following...

Obtain Address: Manual

Class: C

Gateway Address: 192.168.0.1

Domain Name Server Information: ( Info from Chapter 2 is the following Domain: (Insert Host) IP Address: (DNS Server Search Order), keep on doing this until you have used up all of the DNS#. Now in Domain (keep on adding) insert Domain:WORKGROUP   and IP Address (DNS Server Search Order)

Press OK

Now change the IP Address to 192.168.0.2 (or other number at the end)

5) Save and Close

6) Now go to Apple Menu: Control Panel: NetBios

Insert the following

Name: (whatever you want the name to be, I use Mac 1)
Workgroup: WORKGROUP
Description: (Insert one if you want, I think you should on the MAC's)

7) Save and Close

8) Now go to Apple Menu: Chooser . Picture.

9) Click once on the Dave Client Icon. Picture.

10) Double Click on Entire Network.

11) Click once on WORKGROUP and Press OK.

12) Double Click on Entire Network.

13) Click on the first computer and Press OK.

14) Do this until all computers have been setup.

15) Now click on WORKGROUP or any computer.

16) Press the setup button.

17) Make sure the following have a check mark on it. Ask for volume name. Browse Services.

18) Press OK

19) Close Chooser

20) Open Dave. It is located at Apple Menu: Dave

21) If you receive an error, go to the Dave Tech Area to find out how to correct any errors. If you don't have an error, continue.

22) Click on File: Browse: Your Workgroup

23) All the computers on the network should be shown.

24) On the PCs make a new Folder on your desktop.

25) Name it Network Neighborhood. Make links to each computer or only to the Macs. This is done because, for some unknown reason (Thursby says this as well), Windows doesn't always show the Mac in the Network Neighborhood. If you make a link to the computer, though, it will allow you to still access it.
