Transfer files using a direct Ethernet connection does it work for MB Air too ?
Authored by: jporten on May 05, '09 07:41:05AM

I use 192.168.5.x for Firewire networks, and 192.168.10.x for Ethernet. They're mnemonics: 5 = Firewire; 10 = 10BaseT.

And in the above example, you need to set the router when you're creating manual IP settings. Use the same number for both computers (and better to use the faster of the two), i.e.:

MacBook:
192.168.10.1
255.255.255.0
192.168.10.1

PowerBook G4:
192.168.10.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.10.1
