Apple on a PC network

[CrazyMike]

I currently have 3 computers (1 of them wireless) running on my home network witha M$ wireless router (802.11b) If I get an apple ibook, can I run it on my current network? 2 of the computers run xp, one runs 98. I've always been a PC guy, but really want to get an apple too and I want to make sure it will run seamlessly on my network. Thanks.

You should not have a problem connecting the Apple to your network to surf the Internet.

File sharing may be an issue. I am not a Mac user anymore. We had to install the proper clients to work on our Novell network. You will most likely need a Microsoft file and print sharing client to access your other systems. Once you have the client you must configure it properly with the Workgroup/Domain name and use the proper account names and passwords.

I've used a mac labtop with a PC network, the older OS's don't work, the newer ones do, so Just make sure you are using a current OS and it's updated, there shouldn't be much of a problem at all.
