Parallel or Ethernet
« on: March 22, 2005, 06:38:54 PM »
Hi all,
I have got a new mobo for my PC an AMD athlone semprone CPU 2000.
The mobo has got an Ethernet card onboard, so I am using that get gain Internet access.  I Have put the older Ethernet card inside the PC aswell, for a reason.

Although my Amiga 1200 is fine using the internet with its own Ethernet on the Mediator, I am thinking of either a parallel to parallel or going MS connection sharing via the spare Ethernet card on the PC.

The sole reason is that I want to gain access to my Lexmark X1180 printer/scanner connected to my PC, and to share photos from the PC to my Amiga.

What would be the fastest and best method to use for this purpose?


TIA,

Mike.

Yes I use a D-Link router, and my Amiga uses this as well
 as my wifes and daughters PC's
Its just that my Lexmark is far better than theCitizen Swift240C that I use for my
Amiga, aside from that the Lexmark is also a scanner combined.
