Unnecessarily complicated?
I believe this is hint is more complicated than it needs to be. The machine which is connected to the router doesn't have to have a fixed IP address, unless there is some other reason not mentioned. It should be able to use a DHCP assigned address from the router, saving the user the trouble of keeping track of router IP's, etc.
Unnecessarily complicated?
Yeah, what he said. The original hint is WAY too complicated. I've been doing this with our iBook for a couple of years now. Nothing more than Internet Sharing is needed.
Unnecessarily complicated?
Maybe, although I doubt it, the procedure described by friedmaj NEVER worked for me. His scheme makes both machines visible to each other as servers but no access to internet from B is possible. Apple documentation is totally unhelpful, posting in Apple fora where this subject appears with some regularity is useless, I know I tried a number of times. And don't even try to talk to Apple's help people about it. May I suggest to those who post - "this or that" oughta work that they should first test their ideas on real machines before posting.
Unnecessarily complicated?
I've done it many times, as have others who have commented. |
