Unnecessarily complicated?
Authored by: burro on Feb 02, '06 12:14:48AM

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.

(in the interest of full disclosure -- the only shortcoming of this setup is that you have to use your manually assigned IP numbers when connecting them as servers, there are no machine names in this scheme.)

I've done it many times, as have others who have commented.

Perhaps you have an firewall configuration which is interfering.
