[QUOTE="ahs613, post: 1029479, member: 149753"] Personal File Sharing is enabled. Sharing Preference gives an address for access by computers on the local subnet, but that doesn't work. However, I'm not sure the 2 computers are on the same subnet - perhaps because one has a wired connection and the other a wireless one. The IP addresses are 192.168.15.2 (iMac wired) and 192.168.0.107 (MacBook wireless), both with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. They list different router addresses, too. Sharing Preference also gives the IP address of the iMac and says other computers can access this using afp, but the MacBook just churns when I try that. Thanks for your help - [/QUOTE]
