Hello,

my main comp is the G5 which also has the DSL connected to it. My old G4 has a FireWire connection (DHCP, manually) to it, it is remotely controlled via Apple Remote Desktop.

I have the big problem that my fine old Apple mike won't work at the G5 anymore () so I have to use it on the G4 to audio chat.

For this I use Netfone (which allows me to do this crossplatform and with more than 1 friend at a time).

Now, since the G5 is the router for the G4 they cannot connect me anymore because it seems the G5 won't forward the ports to the G4.

HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS?

Can anyone walk me thru the process? No firewall is used on both computers.

Thanx in adv.

Spend the $20 to get an ethernet router and stop the silliness.

Or spend the $20 - $40 for either a USB microphone, or a USB microphone adapter and get rid of using the old hardware altogether.

This doesn't really answer the question on port forwarding � which is interesting anyway.

Yes... it does answer the basic problem: you are trying to do things the wrong way. Use a router.

Forwarding the ports requires monkeying with routing tables, and if you think that this setup is a good idea, then you don't know enough to go doing that.

Oh... and the USB microphone price is down to $13:

Oki thanks. It's enuff to know that making this possible would be really tricky.

Might have been possible there is a li'l app out there and somebody tells me: just switch this and this on and there you go.
