Using our old friend Network Beacon, I managed to connect across the Internet to iPhoto4 on my son's Mac and share his iPhoto Library. Set up was as follows:
- Service Name: [whatever you want]
- Service Type: _dpap._tcp.
- Port Number: 8770
- Check 'Enable Host Proxy'
- Host Name: [the name of the server]
- IP Address:[the IP address of the server]
Make sure the Beacon is Enabled. That's it. His upload speed is only 128k, so it took a while for his full iPhoto Library to load, but sharing only small libraries was fine.
