Thank you to everyone who replied to my posting. I am truly a newbie at networking and OS X, but I was finally able to get Sharity to work by creating a new network port under system preferences. I am not sure if this is described any where in the documentation. (BTW excellent program, my respects to the developers) For the sake of another newbie needing help with this, the steps I took were: 1. Open the System Preferences from the dock 2. Click on Network and go to the "TCP/IP" tab 3. Click on the drop down menu "Show: Active Network Ports" 4. Since I connect to the internet using a DSL modem I had 2 port configurations, one for Internal Modem and another for Built-in Ethernet (this is what connects to the external modem) To use Sharity I needed to assign a fixed IP, so I created a third Port Configuration which I named "LAN" by clicking new. 5. Once a new configuration is created select it from the drop down menu. This will bring you to the TCP/IP tab again. Here I selected Configure Manually from the drop down. 6. I entered a unique IP Address and the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 I hope this helps. If someone has a better suggestion please let me know.
