Hi Ronni,
The restart seems to have done the trick, thank you.  Keep forgetting 
that little trick, when in doubt, shut down, have a cuppa, and try again.

Once again, thank you

Regards

John

IP address on both computers start with 192.

Ipv4 is configured as DHCP

IPv4 is DHCP and address starts with 192

Hi John,

In System Preferences > Network > Ethernet - what IP address is showing, does 
it start with 169?
Check System Preferences/Network, select the Ethernet, and make sure Configure 
IPv4 is set to Using DHCP (not DHCP using manual address). 
Then select Wi-Fi/Advanced/TCP/IP and check for the same thing.
Then Restart your Mac mini and restart your Modem/Router.

Re: Transferring data across the Network between Mac mini & MacBook Pro.

Open System Preferences from the  Apple menu, and click on “Sharing” panel. 
Check to enable “File Sharing” on all Macs you want to share files between. 
From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+K and then click “Browse” to find and 
connect to the desired Mac

Apple has axed the iCloud feature Back to My Mac in Mojave, which made screen 
and file sharing possible between two Macs, even when they weren’t on the same 
network.

Networking problem

[John Thompson]

Good morning list.

I have two computers, a MacMini and a Macbook Pro, both upgraded succesfully to 
Mojave. The MacMini is the main computer and the Macbrook Pro is used primarily 
when travelling.  Up until the upgrade, I have had no problems with networking 
the two machines and transferring required data when preparing to travel.  Now, 
neither machine will see the other, in fact the message is ‘unable to connect’.

The only disparity I see when comparing the Network settings is on the MacMini. 
 The Ehernet Status is Connected but 'has a self-assigned IP address and will 
not be able to connect to the Internet.’.

Does anyone have any idea what the probvlem may be?  I can give further data 
when and if required.

Thank you

John Thompson

Networking problem

[faj]

Years ago I purchased what I was assured was a long (10 meters) 
crossover ethernet cable but it was blue!! I could never get it to 
work.
I recently purchased a short red crossover cable  I have been able 
to network my two computers (BW G3  Wallstreet Powerbook).
Because of the distance between the two computers under normal 
working conditions I foolishly removed the red  inserted the blue 
cable for the extra length. This didn't work! so I replaced the blue 
with the red cable but since then I cannot get either computer to 
recognise the other in the chooser even though all preferences 
remained the same.


I have thrown away the File sharing preferences  the AppleTalk is 
set on ethernet.
Have I caused any damage by using the blue (presumably a twisted 
cable not crossover)

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be or do I need to reinstall anything
Help would be appreciated
Thanks
Faye
