Hello. I have two iMacs from G series at my home. I have ADSL internet connection for browsing the web pages. I want to connect two more PC computers trough LAN cable, and they are downstairs in my basement. What knowledge or skill do I need for this and what else should I know? Thanks in advance.

Hello. Make sure those two PCs are both with Service Pack 2 on them. Or service pack 1, never mind, but the important thing is not to combine these two together, because the situation could get worse or complicated. Make the same workgroup for both iMacs and PCs. Than the unsernames and passwords for the iMac and PC must be the same, too. If you have configured Samba server with your iMacs than just enable file sharing on the PC machines and choose your default home sharing folder on iMacs.
