Re: OT: Getting a home network going
From my experience, those two platforms (Mac OS and Windows XP) cannot talk to each other directly (peer to peer) without some additional peer2peer software or a server in between.
IOW, you can't connect them outa' the box; you need something in the middle added in there (server, 3rd party software, web server, ftp server, email, etc.) In my experience, you're far better off setting them up to talk to each other using TCP/IP and forget about AppleTalk in peer to peer environments.
As stated, if you had a 2003 server, you could use that as a middle-man but not all of us have all the goodies. (I have one but that's beside the point.) And if you must do peer2peer, you'll probably have better luck getting the Mac to talk Windows vs. the other way around...

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
The only thing norton does well is antivirus...
Having firewalls such as zone alarm on your PCs is definitely good. Partition the network and contain the damage if one machine gets "compromised".
Just today, Outlook let in a whole pile of nasty on my little sister's computer.
Most of the machines were perfectly fine since they've got local firewalls and/or run linux.
It did get our net service cut off for a few hours today, but its all settled now.
A little "format c:" and switching 'em away from outlook to a nice Online mail service, and all is well

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
Our router has a firewall.

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
So does ours.
However that's no reason to completely trust all your machines inside the firewall. You don't know where those browsers have been

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
I think a copy of your registry plus the files on your C drive should do it, but I'm not completely sure.

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
My backup program is found in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools.
If you don't have it in your start menu, the program is named "ntbackup.exe", and you can run it by doing Start -> Run and typing in ntbackup and hitting enter.
