Transferring Information Between Two Macintosh Computers

If two Macintosh computers are not connected by a network, you can transfer information between them by connecting them with an Ethernet crossover cable (in effect creating a small network of just two computers), which you can buy from an Apple-authorized dealer. You connect the cable to each computer’s Ethernet port and then turn on file sharing on both computers, or configure the computers’ Ethernet settings to create a small network. For more information about configuring such an Ethernet connection, see Mac Help.

You can also connect two Macintosh computers using a FireWire cable. You can then use FireWire target disk mode to transfer files from one computer to another. For more information about using FireWire target disk mode, see “FireWire Target Disk Mode” on page 41.

If you have an Internet connection, you can also transfer files via the Internet to your iDisk storage area on iTools, where you or another iTools user can download them. For more information about iTools, see “iTools—Free Internet Services for Mac Users” on page 22.

Using the Computer as a Server Without a Monitor

You can set up your computer to run as a server without an attached monitor. Follow these steps:

1Follow all the steps described in Chapter 1 to set up your computer, including connecting a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

2Configure your server software as follows: m Configure network access.

m Configure the Apple Network Assistant Security application so the server can be controlled. m Set passwords for access to the server.

m Set AppleShare IP services to start up when the system starts up.

m Set the computer not to go to sleep. Macintosh Server G4 computers are shipped this way.

3Be sure network services are operating properly.

4Turn off the server and disconnect the monitor.

5Turn on the server.

When you turn on your server, the AppleShare IP services launch automatically after the system starts up.

If you’re using remote access software, follow the instructions that came with your software for logging in to and controlling the server.
