FireWire AND AirPort Networking: Some issues...
Hey guys!
My parents just bought an iBook G4 for my brother, and I decided to connect it to the web via FireWire web sharing/networking, through my iMac G5. Cross volume mounting works without a glitch, but I haven't tried printer sharing yet... However, I ran into an issue:
iChat and MSN Messenger just won't work on the guest machine (everything runs fine on my iMac G5, as usual). They just won't connect to the server, period. Is this normal?
At first, I was trying to do it just for fun, since now we've got a pair of iSights, and I wanted to have a video chat with myself (yeah, I'm a narcisistic ba$tard, I know ) ...However, it's not uncommon of my brother to sign in to Messenger, and I certainly wouldn't mind extinguishing his user account on my iMac, since it's almost redundant already
Anyway, do you know of any workarounds for solving this problem?
Thanks!
