[PD] Connecting a PC with a Mac for sending data

[Pall Thayer]

Hi Enrique,
You just have to make sure the computers are on the same subnet. So if 
you give one IP number 192.168.0.1 and the other 192.168.0.2 use subnet 
255.255.255.0

You may have to use a crossover cable if you're going to connect them 
directly with a single ethernet cable between the two. However, I think 
most recent macs have crossover detection so they detect when a 
crossover is needed and adjust themselves accordingly. If you go through 
a hub you don't need crossover cables.
