Networking with a Mac
My Granddaughter is getting a new Mac Ibook which she wants to network with her mother's Dell Dimension 8400 computer principally for internet sharing. The Dell currently accesses the internet via DSL with an AOL account.
What do we need to do to set up the Dell machine and Mac Ibook to network, either wirelessly or wired.
I'd really appreciate any help

You will need a router. This assumes that the dsl modem can connect by ethernet. If not (i.e. if it can only connect by USB), then you will need a new modem as well. If you want to connect by wireless then the iBook will need to have a wireless network adapter and you will need a wireless router. Note that the 8400 wil still be able to connect by ethernet to the router, so it does not need a wireless network adapter.
