Hello all...
When I got my new iMac 2 weeks ago, the printer I had been using with old PC was rendered useless due to parallel ports. I didn't see the point in buying a new printer when our main one is decent anyway. We've had a Linksys wireless router for a long time now, so that my sister could have the net with her Dell laptop. When I got my iMac, the wireless internet, again, became pretty handy.
My question is, how do I wirelessly network my iMac and main Windows PC together to allow file transferring/sharing (photos, documents, iTunes libraries) and to allow printing through the printer hooked up to that computer. The computers are back to back, with a wall between them. It probably wouldn't be that difficult to run an ethernet through the floor under the wall the up through the floor again, but I shouldn't have to do this. Or at least I didn't think I had to. Thanks...
