I assume some other set-up is > necessary, and even a different cable? What OSes are you running? Basically, you'll need to plug in the cable. From there, on both 'books you'll need to go to Apple-Control Panels-File Sharing (or Sharing Setup, depending on version). Set up any options in there and hit Start for File Sharing. From there, you'll need to actually share something out, highlight the HD/folder you want shared and Go to File-Get Info-Sharing or File-Sharing (again depending on OS version) and check the box to share it. After that, go to Apple-Control Panels-Appletalk, and make sure both are set to Ethernet. Finally, go to Apple-Chooser on both and make sure that Appletalk is on on both. You should now be able to click on Appleshare and see the server computer from the client, double click it, type in the Owner name and password you put in on the server, and you should see the shared items in a list. Double-click it, and it should pop up on the desktop. There ya go :) Let me know if that was too confusing and I'll clean it up a bit ;) Scott Holder ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
