Share files and internet connection between 10.4 and XP
Authored by: taxi on Oct 10, '05 07:52:10AM

OSX seems to assign mental IP addresses if it can't find the DHCP server. I'm not sure if there's one running on it by default, but if my NSLU2 running a DHCP server is off, the Mac gives itself an address that is (IIRC) not necessarily inside the valid private IP address range.

If you are only connecting a pair of computers, why not go for Static IP? It means transferring the DNS servers and so on across, but it's much simpler.

What do you mean by "transferring the DNS servers and so on across"?
