Hi,
I've created an AirPort WEP network in the hope of exchanging some
files between my 2 computers i.e.
PowerBook G4, OS 10.4.11
and
iMac Intel, OS 10.5.8
but the remote computers aren't showing up in Finder.
I've done this successfully once before a couple of months ago but
there seems to be a crucial step that I've forgotten.
I have File Sharing turned on in both computers and the network I
created is showing connected in their AirPort drop down menus.
What else do I need to do to copy files from one to another?
They are about 25 feet apart & virtually in line of sight of each
other.
AirPort status on the PB is showing 'computer-to-computer' on the
iMAC 'On'.
Thanks
Brian
Hi Brian,
A couple of things you could check.
1. In Finder > Preferences - General. Do you have selected under
"Show these items on the Desktop"... "Connected Servers" ?
Yes
2. In System Preferences > Sharing - File Sharing click on the
options button & do you have "Using AFP" selected?
and Yes
I seem to remember the remote computer showed up in the side bar of
the Finder and I needed to click Connect is this correct?
Cheers,
Ronni
