Hi everyone (i.e. the experts)
I followed the instructions here:
http://www.filesaveas.com/jarviser/repeaterhubswired.html
In brief I have a master BT home hub (MBT) connected to the internet.
That connects wirelessly to my Mac Pro (let's call this network MW). Via
plugs-and-ethernet it connects to a slave BT home hub in the kitchen
(long thin flat): let's call that SBT). SBT creates a wireless network
that lets the iPad etc connect reliably in the kitchen. SBT is also
connected to a G5 iMac whose wireless is slow.
If I connect the G5 via ethernet to SBT, it still gets ethernet but I
can't see the iMac via the Network tab on the Mac Pro. Presumably this
is a port forwarding issue? (though it's odd as I thought that only
applied to the wireless network). I want to move large files (EyeTV)
between the two and it's a snail's pace over the G5's old wireless card.
The stupid BT interface only seems to allow me use named apps in their
pre-existing list and to one IP but they change dynamically etc. I
gather I want port 548 open: is there a way to have it completely open
via ethernet only?
cheers
