Urgent Mac help needed

[JoeyJoeJo]

For those of you who know macs better than I do, I'm in need of help. I am using the software DAVE to file/printer share between 1 mac and 1 pc. I have a dial-up internet connection configured on the mac. My only problem is that when I go to the apple/control panels/tcpip, I can only change my dial up connection. I changed it from ppp to ethernet, but then I couldnt get on the internet. So my question pretty much is, how to I configure my ethernet w/tcpip without f'ing up my dialup? BTW its OS 9.2

Not sure if this will help in your situation, but.........

Are you sure tcpip is where you need to go to configure DAVE? I am not familiar with that software, so I am not sure what you are trying to do. You might want to look in chooser, under the apple menu. That is how I am able to network my iMac and my Debian box using Netatalk. All the work is done by my Debian box, and all I have to do is go to the chooser on the iMac, select the network drive and login. I am not sure how to do printer sharing yet.

Thanks for your replys guys. As you can tell, I'm no mac guy. Ive never talked to anyone on here so close to me as you thunorsman. I'm in woodstock, like 15-20min from you.

Not a problem. I've been using Macs since 1987. Let us know how you are able to get DAVE to work. Are you a member of Shenlug yet
