Networking question between two ibooks...simple answer I'm sure (doh!)

I have an older ibook, clamshell, with OS 10.1 installed (no firewire). I also have a newer ibook (14" white) with OS 10.4.7. I want to transfer files from the clamshell to the newer ibook. I understand that I use a crossover ethernet cable to set up a local network. What I want to arrive at is seeing the hard drive icon on the newer ibook desktop and be able to drag and drop from there, but I'm confused about how to get to that point, having read about Public folder (not what I'm shooting for). In the past, I've had a kind tech support help, but unfortunately didn't take notes on getting the hard disc icon onto the [client?] computer desktop.
Sometimes I think I know a fair amount about my computers, other times---like now--I don't. Thanks in advance for guidance. Paul

It sounds like you are trying to connect to the
machine from which you are connecting. If all is
well, and both machines have sharing turned on, you
should see 2 machines in the local network browser.
One will be the one you are on, the other should be
the remote machine.
Assuming the local network browser is the window that comes up when I hit command K, I see no list. Both windows (Server Address, and Favortie Servers) are blank.
Make sure you have sharing turned on, on the remote
machine.
Done
Make sure the two machines have different names (set
this in the sharing configuration)
I did this, yes. Rebooted both computers and the new names came up in the Sharing window).
All i can figure is that perhaps the ethernet cord is either funky, or not what I am perceiving as crossover. I may try a couple of other cords I have as well. I saw the mention of IP addresses, but doesn't this only have to do with sharing via the internet?
I like to give the machines IP addresses (e.g.
192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.20), so that I can "ping"
one machine from the other machine, to be sure I've
got connectivity, before I damage the wall with my
head.

    Use snoop.
    snoop -d <nic> - will give requests and replies coming/going in/out of the specified NIC.
    snoop -d <nic> <MAC address of the target host> - will give requests coming from the required host.

  • Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network

    Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network
    Surely this shouldn’t be so difficult! I have a little LabVIEW program running in the background of PC1. The exe’s task is to collect and send OPC variables held on a SCADA system and convert them to shared network variables (as I thought that they would be easy to share over a network, easier than the nasty OPC and DCOM issues). I have PC2 which runs measurement studio and I have created a nice test VB program which either writes or reads the network variables which are on PC1. The PC1 collection software is working perfectly and when I change the values on the SCADA system I can see the network variable change on ‘NI Distributed System Manager’. I When I look at ‘NI Distributed System Manager’ on PC2 I can’t see PC1 on the list and when I use the basic measurement studio code below to read the network variable it times out at the TestVariable.connect() line.
    Ok so what do I need to do to read a shared network variable sat on PC1 from PC2 on the network
    Public Class Form1
    Private WithEvents TestVariable As NetworkVariableSubscriber(Of Double)

  • How to access a Network Share between two servers in same data centre

    I have two dedicated servers (both Windows 2012 Server) hosted in a data centre somewhere.   I want to share a folder on one server with the other server, but it's obviously not as straight forward as one might think.  My servers are called "Maximus"
    and "Apprentice".
    On Maximus I shared a folder by right clicking on it and choosing "Share with... / Specific People", I then typed in the name of a local user account which also exists on Apprentice with the same name and password.  (so each server has a local
    user account with the same name and password).
    So then on Apprentice, I was hoping I could access the share (while being logged in as this user with whom the folder was shared) by simply typing  "\\ipaddress\sharename" into the address bar in file explorer.  Unfortunately it comes
    back with "Windows can not access [ip address]".
    Now, I do have a website setup on the IP address for Maximus.  This is actually the reason I want to create this share.  I need the second server for load balancing and need to share IIS config as well as the website itself.  (So I will need
    two shares eventually, but for now I'm just trying to get one to work).  I don't know if the fact that the ip address is pointing to the website is causing me problems here or if it's something else.
    Are there any network gurus out there who can tell me what the issue is and how to resolve it?

    I can ping both servers in either direction, but I believe I may have found the problem.  Apparently my host is blocking port 445 which Windows wants to use to connect to the share and they will not unblock it.
    Is there a way to connect to the share through a different port?  
    To my knowledge, you cannot change the port. However, you can try disabling your security software for testing. If this fixes the problem then you need to adjust your security software configuration so that traffic on this port is not blocked or filtered.

  • Share files in ibook - networking question

    Hello, I have a networking question.
    I have a brand spakin' new 13' MacBook Pro and an older 14' iBook G4 (with a broken airport wireless card).
    My internet is set up so that I have the modem connected to a "wired" ethernet hub, then to an airport express. This way I have wireless for my new MacBook Pro, and I can connect my old iBook to the internet with a ethernet cable.
    Herein lies my question: I want to access all my files on my ibook from my MacBook Pro. I've tried the file sharing and etc on system preferences, but for some reason it still doesn't work. I believe its because they are on different networks? (one wireless, one wired?)
    Any ideas to make my ibook a simple file server.

    Try repairing disk permissions.
    *"The external HD has two partitions, one is a backup of the ibook, and the other has mixed media. When I access my ibook over the network, Only the backup partition appears, and not the mixed media partition. "* Try repairing permissions but not sure if that's going to work. Can't hurt to try.
    Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Also, your profile indicates you are running 10.4.3. If that is the case, you might want to run Software Updates (from the Apple Menu , then click Software Updates.

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • Shortest path between two arbitrary point in the network

    Hi All,
    In oracle NDM, it's possible to find shortest path between two nodes (e.g. using SDO_NET_MEM.NETWORK_MANAGER.SHORTEST_PATH), but I need to find shortest path between 2 points which are on the network edges. I suppose I should use (Interface SubPath) in network java apis. However I want to do it via PLSQL api. Should I code it myself or there exists a function?
    Any help is appreciated.

  • File Transfers slow between two iMac 5K Retina Macs on same network

    I have been looking for a few weeks for a solution to my slow network file transfers between two new iMac 5K Retina Macs. They both are high-configured and only have SSD storage.  They run OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and all other updates are current. I have tried via ethernet and wi-fi (type N) and get about the same results. The worst part is I have 30+ mbps internet speed and I can download a huge file quicker than I can copy it between two $4K Macs!!!!.  The speed is about 1-2MBytes/sec. If I copy a folder with say 1.5GB in 7 files it takes 16 mins or so.
    I have tried afp://, smb://, cifs:// protocols and all are slow.
    My previous iMacs and MacBook Pros with Snow Leopard never had this issue.
    Any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem but i think the problem is somewhere in the user settings.
    i created a 500mb file and tried to copy it to the OSX server - it took 6 minutes to transfer. this is a brand new mini - with user data restored from a time machine backup of a MBP.
    i switched users on the mini to admin user and the transfer took less than 5 seconds
    other macs on the network transferred the same file in 5 seconds.
    what settings should i be looking at with the user in question?

    OK. You will need to make sure the ip addresses you assign to your vms are in the same subnet as the adapter create by the installation of vmware. Once you get the fundamental network setup fixed, you can treat these vms just like any machine in your data center. Forget the vm console and access them exactly like you would any remote server -- putty for the linux machine and Windows Remote Desktop for the Windows machine.
    At a command prompt on the host, issue this:
    c:> ipconfig -allYou will get back info on several net adapters, two of which are identified as being with vmware -- vmNet1 and vmNet8. Note the IP addresses of both. We'll need it later.
    You will also need to know how you configured the network adapters on your vm's -- NAT, bridged, hostonly, ???
    Note that these issues are out of scope for this forum. I don't mind helping, but I no longer have a vmware installation to reference details.

  • How best to share Numbers spreadsheet usage between two networked Macs?

    I have never really shared files between two users as my wife always had a Windows computer. She recently purchased an iMac and now has Numbers, so we are interested in sharing access to a couple of spreadsheets for household management. I have racked my brain trying to figure out how to share a file like this, expecting to show her how easy it is on a Mac, but so far I am making it look as difficult to figure out as it was for her on a windows network. Needless to say she is not very impressed with me or with file sharing on a Mac!
    I have a iWork numbers spreadsheet I wantto share between myself on my iMac and my wife on her iMac on our local/home network. I tried keeping the file in my Public Folder but that apparently is not designed to allow my wife to make changes to and re-save back to the same location in my public folder.
    So how else can I set this up to allow both my wife and I to acess (at different times, not simultaneously) the file, make changes, and save it back to the same location? I have a family MobileMe account as well as the local networked iMacs, if that is a possible solution.
    I have heard some people talk about the 3rd party tool called DropBox, but I would like to keep to a local/Apple solution if this is possible with Apple hardware/software.
    Thanks in advance to all you gurus for whom this is an easy fix.

    Share the document via DropBox and discuss changes via iwork.com comments.
    Neat idea; I'll check that out later this evening, thanks for the help here.
    For sharing the file it seems there are two preferred methods:
    1. create a file sharing local user account to host the share documents entirely on a local network. Pros: not routed through the internet. Cons: requires entering a user name and password for access. *(Can Keychain remember the shared account login credentials and enter this for you automatically to make this process even easier?)*
    2. Use a dropbox account. Pros: no need to enter login credentials each time. Cons: requires internet access to upload and distribute changes.
    Any other issues to consider between the two options?

  • How Can we force the Hyper-V Replica to use a dedicated network between two hyper-v hosts?

    Dear Team,
    How can we force Hyper-V Replica to use a dedicated network between two hyper-v hosts?
    For live migration, we can choose the desired network in Hyper-V Manager (Use these IP addresses for Live Migration).
    I have two 10G adapters teamed together, the virtual switch is created on top as converged network with several vNICs (MangementOS, LiveMigratrion, Backup, etc...)
    Each network is set with a specific VLAN to isolate the traffic.
    The two Hyper-V hosts are on the same LAN and domain.
    Thank you.
    Regards,

    I have accomplished this by using a DNS pointer specifying an IP address on that dedicated network. That will force traffic done that network.

  • Need a simple answer for simple question???

    simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
    not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
    i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
    then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
    its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
    help

    The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
    The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.
