File Sharing MacBook with Mac Pro
Have been researching how to set up the ability to see my Mac Pro's HD from my Mac Book. Have 4 HD's installed in Mac Pro and would like to access my photos on my Mac Pro from Mac Book. Have Photoshop CS3 Extended on both machines (need to de-activate one not running on) and would like to edit image files with CS3 on my Mac Book. Mac Book has 120GB HD with 4 GB RAM to run CS3.
Mac Pro is hard wired (ethernet) to cox.net and Mac Book is wireless to cox with Netgear router-WEP.
Have gone into system preferences on both machines and under "Sharing" enabled file sharing.
However I still don't know what to do next.
Customer service person at Simutek in Tucson said she sees her Mac Pro in the left side of a finder window on her Mac Book. ( I had taken my Mac Pro there to have an Airport card installed thinking that was necessary for file sharing, but she said I can do that with my existing home wired/wireless setup). I'm a novice on setting up a home network system, so would appreciate a step x step procedure for file sharing my two machines.
