fastest (speed) way to connect mac to pc
I have a mac G4 800mhz tower and a standard pc with firewire. I am running the lastest version of Panther (finally) and need to connect these two systems together to xfer VERY large files back and forth. Currently i am able to mount windows and linux shares on the mac using the 100mbit network in the house but this isn't fast enough for 5-10gig video files. The files need to be xfered since the PC currently has the most cost-effective methods to review finalized videos on monitors. Some people have said do firewire-firewire, but this uses TCP/IP overhead and results in a 5Mbyte max connection rate (from what I have seen). Is there a way to do firewire-firewire not using tcp ip??? any other ideas? do I need to resort to a shared firewire drive? TIA
