I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4. Both can reach the internet wirelesly.
How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files? Both have network
icons in the systems peferences, but I can't see how to hook them up.
Dual 2.5.GHz G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
In System Preferences>Sharing, enable Pernal File Sharing on both, then after a minute or so chose Finder>Go menu>Connect to Computer>Browse. 🙂

That got me closer, but I'm not quite there yet. On each ofthe two computers I've allowed all users File Sharing and Remote Management. Each computer has an address 192.168.1.2 (or 4). When I enter those addresses into "connect to server" the reponse is either 'drop box' or 'public folder'. So it seems that only very basic sharing is allowed. I have'nt set up a public folder on either one.
OK, when logging in from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.4, use the username & Password for 192.168.1.4, not for the one you're on, 192.168.1.2
Thanks, when I used the correct user names, things fell into place!
Great news Glenn. thanks! 🙂
