All I can say is check out the Network Preference Pane and go to Network Port Configurations.

10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
I think the "6 to 4" option is for IPv6 to IPv4 translation or firewalling or something similar. I don't have a way of testing it but, I've noticed that IPv6 buttons are available in the configuration panes.
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
There's a help item on setting up a 6 to 4 connection if you type 6 to 4 in the online help. It's the first item that comes up.
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
"6 to 4" has to do with networking between IPv4 and IPv6. Google <"6 to 4" networking> for more info.
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
Or you could look in MacHelp
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
Maybe "6 to 4" has something to do with 6pin and 4pin firewire cables? Some cables start 6pin and then terminate 4pin. I was under the impression that the extra 2 conductors only carried power, but maybe it could affect the transmission?
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
Could it also have to do with attaching an external FireWire device that is visible over IPv6?
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
Could this be perchance a reference to the old song by Chicago, "25 or 6 to 4" where the 25 mysteriously disappearred during beta testing?
What can it do?
I'm a little confused about exactly what I can do with IP over firewire... I've succesfully managed to get internet sharing working between my G5 and my 12"PB with the firewire, but is there a way I can keep the two connected to the network individually and connect between them to transfer files with firewire? Basically what I want is to connect between the two computers kind of à la target disk mode except without having to render one of the comps unusable.
What can it do?
I believe that this is exactly what you can do. The idea is to have two servers and one will take over for the other in case of failure.
What can it do?
It can do anything NetworkingOverEthernet or AirPortNetworking can do.
25 or 6 to 4
No no no you have it all wrong!! It must be a cryptic reference to the old Chicago song by the same name. 25 or 6 to 4
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
Firewire beats out ethernet in speed.
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
While FirewireIP can be as fast as Gigabit Ethernet oprating normally, doing things like jumbo packets on GigE is much faster if you have switches that support it. Where FirewireIP is great is offering another or an out-of-band network segment that can be used specifically to support filesharing, database syncronization and replication, and heartbeat and communications between machines operating in a cluster.
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
This is my best Guess
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
Any reason to think firewire 800 is or is not supported by this?
10.3: Add IP over FireWire networking
Hm, I just hooked up a PC laptop to my G4 iMac using firewire. The connection works fine. However, if I unplug the cable to take my laptop to work, and plug it back in later, I have to reboot my Mac or it won't see that a cable is connected. |
