Re: firewire networking

[Ben Dyer]

If you're using X 10.3 (not sure about 10.2), just go to System 
Preferences>Network>Show (the lower of the 2 pop-up menus)>Network Port 
Configurations, and click the New... button. Type a name, and select 
"Built-in FireWire" from the Port pop-up menu. Then, you can configure 
it just like a regular ethernet port by selecting the port name you 
just typed in from the Show pop-up menu.

On versions of OS X that don't support this by default, IIRC there's an 
extension you can download from Apple called IP over FireWire. Just 
search the apple.com site for it.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi all,
I have an icebook in which I wish to network to a PC using firewire. 
What's the best application on the mac side to allow me to do this? I 
usually would just network using the ethernet port, but the pc's being 
used as a server and so I cannot unplug it.
Thanks in advance.
