Hi.
i am wondering if there is a way that I could share my hard drive with 
my friend (and vice versa) via the internet. We are both using 10.2.8 
and we both have cable internet. Also both of our machines go into 
routers on a LAN before they go into the WAN.

I am not too familiar with os x. But what im looking for is a way to 
mount my friends drive on my desktop and vice wersa without having to 
share over a 3rd party program.

Is this possible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Scott

Hi Scott
	You certainly can with OS X, the trick is those routers.  Are these 
garden variety home units? or?
If you could set up port forwarding on those units it will work fine.  
If not it won't be easy...
