Thanks for all the useful suggestions, but I'm still having problems getting things to work. I installed netatalk, and the Mac can see my machine, but cannot connect to it (it gives the error: files are already mounted locally). I then tried to ftp to the Mac, which had file sharing on and should be a ftp server. I got the ftp message that the network was unreachable (since I hadn't connected to the internet). I wouldn't mind running an ftp server (any suggestions--there seem to be lots), but I'm thinking the problem may be with my /etc/network/interfaces file. It reads: iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Does this look correct? I'm not sure if I need to do anything to have my machine use the ethernet card (connected to the switch and mac) for ftp when I haven't used the modem to dialup the internet. I realize I'm not being very clear here, but any help (and all the advice so far given) is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
