cpugeniusmv Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I have a friend who has a mac running OSX and a PC she just got. She has some music on the mac that she would like to transfer to the PC. I have a 6pin to 6pin firewire cable that I use to network XP machines together for file-transfers occasionally, and I was wondering if firewire networking is supported natively in OSX? If it is supported, is it easy for someone who has never used OSX to configure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureEdit Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Yeah, OS X 10.3 supports it natively. Just open system prefs, and click on network. Then add a new device, and click firewire 400, and then set an IP address for the new device. Works well, 400mbit speeds are good :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureEdit Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) Hmmm didn't know that. I knew 10.2 didnt support it. Thanks for the info 10.2 didn't support it out of the box, but there is a download on apples site to enable TCP/IP over firewire on 10.2. http://developer.apple.com/firewire/IP_over_FireWire.html Edited June 11, 2004 by PureEdit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
