I would use the crossover cable between the two notebooks, and then
turn on Personal File Sharing in the Sharing pane of System
Preferences. This will enable AFP and then you should be able to see
the ibook in the chooser on the WallStreet.

Dear List-mate,
I didn't get a single response to this inquiry when I posted it a
few weeks
ago; perhaps you can at least point me in the right direction?!
I imagined this was an easy question, but I've never done it, and
don't know
how.
How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2
and an
iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy
files from
one to the other?
Here's the equipment I have available to me which might prove useful:
- USB A-B cables and a Belkin USB hub
- straight and crossover ethernet cables,
- D-Link DWL Wireless USB adapter,
- 2 USB Bluetooth adapters- a D-Link Bluetooth DBT-120, and a Mitsumi
CE0197,
- Belkin 802.11B PCMCIA CardBus Wireless Notebook Network Card
F506020.
I don't know which device and/or cable to use, for what, and how. I
don't
know whether to attach these before startup, which machine to start
first,
which control panels to set up on each machine, and in what order,
etc.
Do any of these units require drivers which may need to be
installed in
either system?
Does one of the machines have to be a master and the other a slave?
Does one of the operating systems have to have control over the other?
Have you ever done this? Please tell me how! If you really know
how, will
you please explain it step-by-step?
Has someone written a simple guide to how to do this, which I can
download &
read? I've checked MacHelp for "connecting two (or 2) powerbooks"
and have
found nothing which seems to address this topic.
Also, if you're attempting to respond to this appeal, please be
kind enough
to copy my email with your answer, to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
since
I've been receiving a large percentage of "bounce" messages
relating to
postings to the list, and therefore, I'm probably not seeing more
than one
in four or five.
Please give me any help you can! At least, please try to point me
in the
right direction!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
All the best,
stanton
