Hi
I'm running a music studio with a PC (Win XP Home) and a MacBookPro (Snow Leopard).
What I'd like to be able to do is the following:
Have the PC and the MBP access the internet via their wireless connections (yup, I know, easy - done in fact),
but also....
Have the MBP and the PC talk to EACHOTHER via a wired connection: both machines have gigabit ethernet, and the mac, i'm told, will do the crossover automatically (ie negating the need for a crossover ethernet cable). I'd like to be able to transfer sets of large audio files from one machine to the other which, via wifi, takes forever; but I'd also like to have both machines access the internet independently of each other.
I'm kind of asking if this is, in fact possible and, if so, how to do it.
Also, what would be useful is to be able to run Synergy on both machines, so I can use the keyboard and mouse of the PC to operate both machines. This was easy when I had a PC laptop, but now I've switched to the mac, its all a bit different.
Any help, suggestions, advice is, as always, extremely welcome.
Kind Regards
