I'm trying to set up a small network in my house. I have three computers. 1. an apple imac running os 9 2. an windows 98se computer and 3. another one running XP Pro.
i have all of them connected to the internet thur a hub, it goes
cable modem to hub the hub to each PC.
i want the PC's to be able to see eachother and at least the Windows machines to be able to, but what i'm really looking for is for them to be able to share printers. and yes i have print sharing already turned on. Right now none of them can see each other. Help!!
thanks


P.s. i didn't know where to post this, i hope i got the right spot.

To see all the PCs in your Network Neighbourhood all 3 computers must have the same Protocols running on each NIC card
