You're going to need to be more specific. What model name/number are your MBP and your MP?

Have you gone to the ScreenRecycler web page and read their FAQs, Help?

ScreenRecycler relies on a network connection among the machines involved. If I remember correctly I used a wireless connection though that was a bit slow. I'd suggest a wired connection if you can swing it. I am not sure but I think networking via Firewire is also supported if the machines have Firewire.
