Bryan, I wouldn't know an IP address if it bit me. I have never used them. I usually just double click on the displayed computer names in chooser after I have clicked Appleshare. It opens a dislog box asking for password and name and that's it. How is IP address different. Who assigns the IP address? If it is me how do I know what address to give them? These are computers on a home network. Thanks, Ann Bryan Forrest wrote:
