All my macs are connected to an Airport network. All are set to share files. I can connect easily from my Macbook to an old emac but can't connect to my old ibook, which shows on the Finder. I keep getting the error that that computer "may not exist." Well, it exists right next to the computer that can't find it.
What am I missing?
MacBook 7, 2.4 GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.7), iPad, iPhone 3Gs ( 4.3.2)
Can you ping between the two?
No. I got no response. Terminal synopsis (which means nothing to me):

DESCRIPTION
The ping utility uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram
to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST
datagrams (``pings'') have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a ``struct
timeval'' and then an arbitrary number of ``pad'' bytes used to fill out
the packet. The options are as follows:
-A Audible. Output a bell (ASCII 0x07) character when no packet is
received before the next packet is transmitted. To cater for
round-trip times that are longer than the interval between trans-
missions, further missing packets cause a bell only if the maxi-
mum number of unreceived packets has increased.
-a Audible. Include a bell (ASCII 0x07) character in the output
when any packet is received. This option is ignored if other
format options are present.

Why can't I connect?
