Bob Samuelson stranger Registered: 11/25/08 Posts: 1	Please advise how to network my desktop and my laptop. Both Macs are G4 Power macs and Powerbooks and are running OS10.4.11. I have Airport on both, connecting to DSL on a server.

Do you have FileSharing turned on in System Preferences/Sharing on the machines you want to get files from?? _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Turn on file sharing. In the Finder sidebar, when you click on the Network icon, you should see the remote computer. Click on the computer's name and you should get a dialogue asking for username and password. Type those, and you're in. _________________________ MACTECH ubi dolor ibi digitus
