Failing that, plug them together with an ethernet cable (a crossover cable if you don't have a mac with an autosensing ethernet port).
All iMacs are auto-sensing, IIRC.
No, not all iMacs have this ability. More info here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42717 Apple Products That Require an Ethernet Crossover Cable
Thank you for the info, Mary. When I got my Rev B. I connected it to my SuperMac C500 with a crossover cable. When the FP iMac replaced the C500 last year, I just used the crossover cable "because it was there"; I'm glad I didn't go out and buy a regular cable. I'd read somewhere that you didn't need a crossover cable if ONE of the Macs had autosensing, but according to the article you sent, that isn't exactly true.
