Hello!

I would be grateful for advice on setting up a network.

The elements are:

* Livebox (residential internet gateway)
* Mac (with OS X & XP Home partitions)
* XP Home pc
* Printer

At the moment, the Mac (with OS X & XP Home partitions) connects wirelessly to the internet via the Livebox.

I want to be able to network both partitions of the Mac with the XP Home pc to share files and the printer.

How to I connect the XP Home pc with the Mac's OS X partition- and vice-versa?

How do I connect the XP Home pc with the Mac's XP Home partition- and vice-versa?

How can both partitions of the Mac access each other via the network i.e. so the XP Home partition can share files with the OS X partition and vice-versa?

How do I connect the printer so that the XP Home pc, and both partitions of the Mac can access it?

(I want to have the printer physically wired to the Mac)

If anyone can help tell me in easily understood language, I'll be so grateful!

Thanks!
