Hello genius-people,



I would like to have my 12" G3 ibook share files with my Snow G3 imac. I've tried unsuccessfully to do this with an ethernet cable. What other solutions are there? Can this even be done?



Thanks for you help.

    They probably do not have auto sensing ports. You'll need a cross-over ethernet cable, not a standard one, or a hub/switch to connect them.



    Then just set both of the computers to use DHCP for the ethernet port and they should find themselves.



    If you have panther installed on both, you can try a firewire cable as well.
