i am trying to network these two machines together so eventually i can connect the printer and all my external storage devices to the PC running WIN98 (or higher if needed). once this is done i would like to be able to connect to this network from my laptop anywhere in the house. my laptop is running OSX10.3.3.<br />
<br />
will i need to purchase and upgrade for the PC? what is the easiest way to do this with minimal purchases for the PC running WIN98?<br />
<br />
the only reason i have this machine is because it is my girlfriend's and i use it to view my web designs on PC platform browsers. i figure since i have the machine i would like to put it to better use as a storage a printing hub.<br />
<br />
let me know if i am barking up the wrong tree and if there is a better way to do this. <br />
<br />
ideally, at one point i would like to be able to remotely access my storage and printer remotely via the internet while on the road.<br />
<br />
thank you for the help. i could really use it.<br />

OSX WIN98 NETWORK: Is it possible to share files and printers by setting up a network with these two OSs?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
