2 Macs ---the MacBookPro and the new iMac --- have Screen Sharing enabled. I just noticed that in System Preferences>Sharing, it also lists remote Remote Log in. Should that be enabled, too? The PowerBook is running Tiger, 10.4.11. I'll have to check and see if the PB does have Screen Sharing when I get home. However, I could connect to the PB and my G4 iMac with MBP using the Go menu before. Don't know if that's a different kettle of fish or not. jane -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
