Thanks for your advice folks but, ermmmmm...what is FTP? I'm not a computer techie and have no idea what you mean.
I'm not too bothered about the Mac and PC talking together so I'll settle to hook them up to one router.
Wire or wireless? That's the next question. The machines are only about 12ft apart and separated by one wall so a wire would be easy enough to hide. In the fullness of time, however, I would like to get a laptop and also bung that on the same router and use it upstairs or downstairs around the house. So wireless might be favourite.
Anyone know how to fit a wireless receiver card in the back of a Mac. Please bear in mind that I have never taken apart a Mac before but have had the odd fiddle inside a PC to add memory, new graphic cards and remove son's biscuit crumbs etc.
cheers
