>If this query is off list - then my apologies - but I have a problem - specifically
, how do I put a Mac ( a G3) onto a small peer to peer hub, which also has the
ADSL modem linked into it , when the other machines on the hub are all Wintel.

FWIW: My topology is slight different. I plug my adsl modem in my FreeBSD firewall
box. My boxes talk to the firewall which talks to the modem.

>In other words using peer top peer networking with Windows 95/98 , with the
ADSL box taking up one of the ports works just fine - however , the network
doesnt recognise the Mac , and so the latter cant get onto the ADSL box ?

Is this an allocation issue? What if the MAC is the only box turned on? How
many IPs will the ADSL modem issue? Have you had a look at the modem's DHCP
server to see what DHCP leases have been issued? I am unfamiliar with the Mac
but I'm guessing it can act as a DHCP client.

>So far I have looked at a peoduct called DAVE which looks like one answer .
However, the specs look a bit hairy .

What does Dave do?

>I'm hoping someone on the list just might have the answer :-)

Someone should.

Can the Mac see the 95/98 box[es]? Can the Mac been seen by the other box[es]?
 Do pings work?
