Thank you thank you thank you!!!!


I have been in networking hell because for some reason my ISP (Telus BC) is set up in a way that prevents my Mac (G4 powerbook OS X 10.2.8) and PC (Win 2000) -- which are connected to the ADSL through a simple HUB -- from seeing or communicating to eachother no matter what I did. Samba, FTP, and the Apache webserver were all useless and I thought I would have to buy a router or a hardware firewall just to be able to network my 2 computers. But thanks to you, all I had to do was unplug my ADSL modem, let each of the computers self-assign IP addresses and then everything worked. Thanks!!!
