FLASH: OT: Mac File Sharing Question

[Laura Mollett]

Hi There,

Really sorry for the OT, but would greatly appreciate it if Frederico or

someone familiar with networking on macs can tell me if I can connect two

macs running system 8 or better over the internet? or just over a modem

(local call) for at least file sharing, and preferably program sharing? Do I

need to set up one of the macs as a server and buy some server software? Or

do they have everything they need to be connected (modems and internet

connections and ip numbers) and if so, what do I need to set so they'll

accept the server request?


(That is, I have file sharing on and user groups set to allow guest

connects, but typing in the ip address in the chooser appleshare menu just

gives me a "server is not accepting connects" message, so what am I doing

wrong, if anything? or do I not have all the software I need? :)


Really really appreciate a quick response as my boss wants to connect her

home computer and thinks I know internet stuff (even though I keep telling

her I don't do hardware and complicated networking/coding stuff :)


Sorry again for the OT
