It should work if it's a crossover cable, although on some systems because of AppleTalk's "intelligent" [sic] detection system, it can be tough to get AppleTalk working this way because the ad hoc network won't be up until both machines are, and AppleTalk won't talk to Ethernet until there's a network there. This isn't usually a problem for later versions of MacOS. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
