Go to apple menu>control panels>appletalk and set it for ethernet... It will try to find a zone, then under "edit" change the usermode to "advanced" and you'll see the IP for the network (probably like 65502) for the mac, then click "get info" and you'll see "this macintosh" and you'll see something like 65502.111. Somewhere in the ftp program there will be a way for you to see exactly what the IP # is (it will be the same as using the above method). Set her network to ethernet also, and type in that address in the ftp window and you're gold. > I once spent quite some time trying to get two computers to see each other > (for FTP purposes) over a cross-over cable without success (the connection > was fine because I could use AppleTalk at 100BT).

I once had to ftp between a mac and windows98 in the exact same way I mentioned above because the server went down for the iloveyou virus, which took down outlook, everything so it was th eonly way and we were in a huge hurry, so I know it works. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
