How does rendezvous work in a home situation.
I have a powerbook 15" on a wireless network. This morning my wifes' 12" powerbook arrived. I thought rendezvous would automagically see each computer, but nothing happening. Sharing is open on each machine.
Do I have to set anything else to see the machines, and can I just copy files back and forth that way.
Any help welcomed.
Cheers,
J.

ps. iTunes see's each computer fine. Will rendezvous allow us to see each others hard drives in the same way?
Cheers,
J.

Rendezvous doesn't enable filesharing, or any service, automatically. What it does (in part) is advertise the services that you have turned on. So if you turn on file sharing on your Mac, your wife should be able to find your file share using the connect to server (Finder Command-K) option.
Rendezvous has another feature which is to allocate friendly names and IP addresses for computers that do not already have them or have access to a DHCP server. So you could plug your two computers together and they would be CAPABLE of sharing data without any configuration. However you'd still need to turn on file sharing, start iChat or iTunes to actually do anything.
Cheers,
John

Thanks John, that explains it really clearly. Better than anywhere I could find on Apple.
Cheers,
