hey everyone got a bit of a networking question...



I got a old performa (runnin os 8.0) with an ethernet card, and an ibook linked up via direct connect ethernet cable...



I wanna get files off the performa... but so far I can not seem to get them to detect each other?! Any ideas tips etc?



The iBook is running 10.2 btw...

    You need to use a cross-wired ethernet cable if you're linking them directly.

    its called an ethernet "cross-over" cable (opposite of an ethernet patch cable).
