PB and G3 over swich
Can I connect a PB 667 (10.2.3) to a G3 tower using this swich?

I have a cable connection hooked up and it works only with the G3. I've given up sharing the internet connection, but I want to share files. Is this possiable?

Re: PB and G3 over swich
To share an internet connection, simply get a router instead of a switch, as a router would work for sure. I am personally sharing an internet connection over a hub of all things, which worked without setting a thing in OS X. I plugged everything in and it worked, quite nifty.
The switch is a super duper hub, if you will, so I would think that it too could share an internet connection like my hub does.
So, either way, a hub, switch or router(a super duper switch), I would think that you could share the internet *and* share files. However, I would suggest a router as they are intended to share connections and often come with extra features. Prices are falling quite nicely too

Nope, cant do it. Trust me, I tried but I can't. No NAT or anything for the swich.
