Re: [H] setting up pc to pc network

Just give each firewire adapter a non-routable IP address. Put each pc's 
 name and firewire IP in each pc's hosts file. then you should be able 
to ping/connect via pc name on the firewire network.

Is this possible and if so, how?  Why does WinXP seem to talk in terms of
ICS when I don't need to share an internet connection? Seems like it ought
to be simple to make two PC sharing a wire see each other.
