today i just got my new mac and i am having troubles getting it connected to my network

i have a router/switch that i have 2 PCs connected to (both running XP) and i would like to connect my mac to one of the PCs via a second networking card in the PC, i have tried everything i can think of but windows is being stubborn and my patience has run out

someone please help :cry:

You could also use a 4-port mini switch off that line coming through the wall from the router and connect the PC and the Mac to it. This way you also have extra ports available in case you need them.

apprently according to MS

You should not use this feature in an existing network with Windows 2000 Server domain controllers, DNS servers, gateways, DHCP servers, or systems configured for static IP addresses.

but my brother said next time hes over he would give me a netgear hub he doesnt use anymore so everything should be good
