I know this is not linux networking, but can anyone here help me on how to share files between MAC and PC
the MAC currently using MAC OSX, and the PC using WinME
I have searched and found that theres a software called Dave will do the trick
but I want something free, since this is only a home networking

thanx

If your dualbooting and want to access a Windows partition, then ensure you have vfat support and the entries for those partitions in /etc/fstab.

For file and print sharing with Windows, look into Samba. There is a NHF on the subject and plenty of other documentation all over the web.

For Apple. ??? I have seen Appletalk support in the kernel configuration though I'm not at all familiar with it. I doubt that it's enabled by default so you may need to recompile the kernel. I'm not sure of filesystem access.

You could search at Google for Apple/Mac to see what you can find.
