[QUOTE="Tuppy, post: 1887539, member: 408224"] Hello Patrick. I'm confused too, but then I'm always confused. Once I had the two computers (the Mac Pro and the G5) linked together by the Ethernet cable, and able to share files (the ability to share files only proved that they were linked), the idea was then to get the Mac Pro to share its ability to get on the Internet with the G5. To do that, I went to the Mac Pro's System Preferences > Sharing, and ticked the box that says Internet Sharing. Both of these Macs have the Firefox browser to get on the Internet with. The Mac Pro could still get on the Internet through its Firefox browser, but the G5 that was linked to it by ethernet could not, which indicated to me that the Mac Pro was not really sharing its Internet connection with the G5. Was I doing something wrong? [/QUOTE]
