iMac DVSE 400 (Aiport 3.3) Acts as my software base station.
12" PB 867 Airport 3.3.
Both use OS X v. 10.3.2

I have Personal File sharing enabled.
Rendezvous enabled in Directory access.
Sharing is enabled in iPhoto and iTunes preferences.
Can't see iTunes or iPhoto libraries from either machine.
No sharing going on. (Other than airport and printer.)

Any ideas?

It's probably because the iMac is a software base station.

Under the Network System Preference it probably has a real IP address from your ISP while your PowerBook probably has a 192.168.1.xxx type address.

I believe for Rendezvous to work you both have to be in the same subnet (which I think means all the numbers in the IP address are the same until the last .xxx).

You might be able to use something like Network Beacon to allow what you want to be done, but that's above my head but hopefully not someone else's.

Thanks tRr,

My iMac is the software base station. Rendezvous used to work in Jaguar. (I know I could see iTunes shared music at one time back when they first allowed this.)

Do you think this means I will end up having to use a router/hardware base station?

That was a fast reply!

I just did a bit more research and maybe there is an easier answer.

If you want can you give me the IP's of your Network Interfaces in the System Preferences?

I assume your iMac's ethernet port has a DSL/Cable modem attached to it so I don't need that one, but what IP is under the AirPort card for the iMac aswell as the Airport Card for the PowerBook?

I've never done anything like this before, but I'm always up for new things

Edit: Actually are any firewalls on?
