I just set up a friend with a new Pismo laptop for his personal use. At the office there is an (original) iMac with IR networking capability. We linked the two machines today - it was cool! The way we did it was to set AppleTalk to IR on both machines and do a traditional AppleShare via the chooser. The problem is that the iMac is then no longer connected to the Ethernet network and did not have access to corporate e-mail and the networked printer. The e-mail could wait - but it would be nice to be able to print. Questions -- Is there a way to IR link the two machines and keep the iMac on the Ethernet? Am I correct in recalling that newer iMacs do not have IR? And that the original iMac cannot support the AirPort? Thanks, Dean ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
