PureEdit Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 In the network prefs add a new network device and select firewire. You need 10.3 on both computers, or some software for 10.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 You can also use "Target Disk Mode" on one of the macs. Hold down "T" while booting... Pretty much turns the mac in to a external firewire hard drive. I guess this isn't exactly "networking" them, but it's so simple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsbury Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 XP allows you to use FireWire as a NIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
