I have a question for you networking guys/gals out there.
My gf asked me :

"If i am able to hook up 10 PC clones and 7 macintoshes with novella ethernet, what am i going to have to change for the people on the networks to be able to communicate with each other, share documents, instant messaging, remote printers etc. Am i going to have to change the network icons?"

Since I am pretty computer illiterate I said "UMMMMMMM.....I dunno, let me see what the people at TFP have to say".

I didn't even think it would be an issue..but like I said...I don't know much about computers let alone networks.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I think this is a small part of a paper she has been working on.

Thanks in advance.
