[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 814328, member: 2960"] No, but that shows that you possibly haven't Power Cycled properly. Does your modem have two ethernet cables coming out of it? If not, you can't just swap the cable between the Windows PC and the iMac and expect it to work. You will have to power cycle each time you switch the computers. You will have to get a router to prevent that. If you do have a modem/router combo, then when you are at step 5 and powering on your computers, leave the Windows PC and the notebook off. Only turn on the iMac. That should pull an IP for the iMac. [/QUOTE]
