    Think so. Network over firewire It was more like a technical preview than anything else. And AFAIR it was pulled again...

    eh slightly related...once i get my G5...it will have a 160GB HD...perhaps i'll upgrade to the 250GB but either way



    is there ANY way to connect a B&W G3 with firewire so that the G3 can access the firewire without using target mode?



    im going to go check out firenet i know that was mentioned before but i dont know if it still gets updated

    Maybe I am misunderstanding...you don't use your hub and so only connect 2 out of 3 computers to the internet at a time? Why not throw the hub into the mix and have all 3 online at once?

    setup is liek this



    cablemodem

    |

    |

    5 port hub

    |

    |

    G4 G3

    |

    |

    PC



    the reason i do this is because its a hub not a router and my ISP only allows two internet connections (IPs) at a time, so i have to do that
