Many networks their PC with their Amiga.

The usual setup is:

PCMCIA network card, about $50. Plugs into A1200. You may need a PCMCIA2/3 converter which is easy to get hold of (dunno the specifics).

PCI network card, about $15. For PC, first check so it's not already a mobo feature.

If you are going to network more than two computers, then you need a hub(?).

Software:

MiamiDeluxe or Samba for the Amiga

??? or Samba for the PC.

Other posters will fill in the gaps I guess. You can also use null-modem, but most people scrap that idea pretty quick when they realize how much better networking is (both easier and faster).
