Rob, You would use both TCP/IP AND Netatalk. Both should have been installed as part of SuSE 7.3 (is it the Pro version?) To see if Netatalk is installed, go here (on the SuSE box): (1) Open the Control Center (2) Expand the "YaST2 modules" (3) Under YaST2 modules, expand "System" (4) Under System, expand "RC-Config Editor" (5) RC-Config Editor will start up in the right-hand window (6) In the Editor, expand "Start-Variables" (7) Under Start-Variables, expand "Start-Network" (8) Under Start-Network, select "start_atalk" (if "start_atalk" isn't in this list, then netatalk is not installed!) (9) If "start_atalk" is there, then make sure it is set to "YES" Now, before I can help you configure TCP/IP I need to know the following: (a) are these the ONLY computers on your network? (the mac and the linux?) (b) are you able to access the internet from either of these computers? (c) if so, then how? Dial-up modem? DSL? Cable Modem? T-1? (d) are you using a router? (do both computers share one internet connection?) --------------------------- Eric Carbone -----Original Message----- From: rev rob [mailto:hd522@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 3:46 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] Appletalk and Linux I have an old Apple 7600:Sonnet G3 upgrade card to 375 Mhz w/ 688Mb RAM. Great machine.I also have a PC box running SUSE 7.3.I'd like to network these machines together. I know little to nothing about networking.I do have a hub and some CAT5e cables w/ RJ45 connectors on the ends. Please treat me like you're talking to a 4 year-old with your replies if you'd like to reply. Someone explained this a little while ago but I can't find the thread.I checked google and geocrawler. Do I use TCP/IP or Netatalk?I know nothing of each. I don't understand the lingo at the respective websites. Please help.
