Ok so I got two Mac's setup with fresh installs 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. One is mine an iMac, the base station. The other is a Mac Mini I've setup for my 9yo son. A friend gave me an older mushroom shaped Airport Extreme. OK, I got the Mac Mini on the internet wirelessly. And did figure out how to file share, and transferred some pictures to the Mac Mini from the iMac's external hard-drive.
Now I'm not sure fully what I did to get all that setup. I just followed the screens. But honestly it is all a blur now. What I'm saying is that I cannot say I fully understand wireless networking. There are so many options and choices when I go back and look at the Airport utility.
To go a little further I turned on the Firewall. But now I cannot file share.
Is there a way to file share with the Firewall on? How should I protect both my Macs now that I am using the Airport Extreme?
