hi

I am trying to connect an iMacDV to an iBook clamshell, to swap files between

They are connected with a cross over ethernet cable

the imac has OSX10.1 and the iBook has 10.3

on the iBook it recognises the iMac -but when I go to click on it - I have a long (timeout countdown) followed by a prompt that I login as a guest -but it fails to connect


does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be?

I thought connecting two Macs together would be simple

thanx in advance

Rich
