That's pretty obvious, but you didn't describe how your Apple currently connects to the network - so it's kind of hard to guess how to connect it. Other missing info: Is it brand new, or used? Which version of Windows is it running? Does it have wifi, or just the more reliable RJ45 copper port? How does your Mac Pro connect to the network?
