You may need a FW400 to FW800 cable if the computers don't have matching FireWire ports.

Sep 17, 2012 10:03 PM in response to picky7by moedlatv,Just to share,
I also found another solution where I'm currently using Apple Mac Pro and I hook my another port (ethernet 2) to another computer (Windows HP/PC) and it works fantastic and seamlessly.
Been having headache connecting it by configuring IP, DNS and what not, but apparently to solve this is very simple.
Step 1: Go to 'Spotlight' and look (type) for 'Sharing' and select 'Internet Sharing'.
Step 2: Go to 'Network' setting and add new new interface and select 'ethernet 2' and leave it as it will automatically set your internet.
It works either vice versa. Hope this helps. Good luck!
