Hi all,
I just selected the AirPort icon in the Finder menu bar on my iMac and
my computer (network) name had appeared there.
I selected it & typed in my password and I'm now seeing the PB & it's
external drive from my iMac.
I'm not sure what triggered it though so there will be more head
scratching when I come to do it again.
I'll keep this latest batch of emails for future reference.
Thank you one and all for your help
Brian

Hi All WAMUG and Brian
First this is for everyone I believe what Brian is trying to do is
Make a wireless network with his iMacs built in airport card
I'm trying to get to a situation where I can copy files to & from my
PowerBook & iMac using the Finder.
Brian:
If this is what you're trying to do First disabled the computer to
computer network in the menu bar on the iMac and on the laptop.
I have disabled my computer-to-computer network on both PB & iMac
Once you have the computer to computer network disabled Go to
system preferences on the iMac
go to Sharing ----> Internet Sharing
Once in the Internet Sharing sanction you want to make it look like

I see this picture shows Internet Sharing off is this correct?
As I replied to Daniel ..
If I try turning on Internet Sharing I get an alert saying "If your
computer is connected to a network, turning on Internet sharing may
affect the network settings etc."
If I do it anyway Little Snitch tells me ""natd" wants to connect to
0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port 2560 (labrat)" so I cancel doing it.
Next you will need to set up the airport card to do this go to
airport options You want to make them look something like this

I've followed the example in the picture of AirPort Options using
the Network Name that came up but the PB's drives aren't appearing
in the iMac's Finder.
Thank you for the pictures, that's always a great help.
