Hi Jonathon (et al.), I've been wanting to do this for a while with a Mini Server (that doesn't come with Internet Sharing and, even if it did, I'd prefer to use a computer-to-computer network).
I think it can be done using the command line (as Agustin suggested) and a launch script (that is run each time the computer boots or wakes up) but I haven't had the time to do it yet. The only issue I can see is, possibly, that the network may already exist if, for example, another computer was also a part of the computer-to-computer network when you restarted. Cheers, Ashley. P.S. Of course, on a regular Mac mini you could always using Internet Sharing but, as far as I can tell, you want to be able to connect both ways. P.P.S. To do this you may also need to do some routing ... i.e. to tell the Mac mini if it wants to get to the iPad it needs to use this network interface.
