Not quite true. For instance, my flat panel iMac, which is quite new, needs the crossover cable. There's a knowledge base article about which computers need which cable: <http://kbase.info.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/kbase.woa/20/wa/query?search Mode=Expert&type=id&val=KC.42717> I have routinely hooked up via Ethernet cable to several different Macs. Often, you can use AppleTalk instead of the IP address route, especially if you don't have Ethernet setup. On OS 9, use the Chooser to select AppleTalk; in OS X, the Finder's Go menu, Connect to Server, will list AppleTalk connections available. Stuff transfers very fast. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
