Greetings:
Subject line tells it all. I file-share/backup between my PB190 and 6320 via AppleTalk over a printer port and it's so dang sloooow! Can I possibly use TCP/IP as an option?
Absolutely.
You'll need an ethernet card for the 190, since I don't think that's built-in. If it is all the better.
The bog-simplest way is to buy a cheap ethernet hub, and one ethernet cable for each computer, plug it all together, turn 'em on and set appletalk to use the ethernet. Voila.
The *cheapest* way is to connect the two with a crossover cable, but you will run into the situation whereby the first mac booting up will not 'see' anything on the ethernet, and set it's appletalk back to the prnter port. You'll have to be constantly turning appletalk back to the ethernet port on one or the other of the systems if you do it this way.
