[QUOTE="Mo_274, post: 900791, member: 38230"] Hey, Happy to report the problem is solved, and I could make the setup as I wanted, Just ran the disk permissions and a restart on both machines did the job, I still wonder how running the dis permission check solves such random issues! any thoughts on this? Anyway, for others if they want to do the same, I should say that I am not going forward with this as my machines are connected using the wireless network at home, and the iPhoto library is nearly 10GB, hence the load times are very long and it wouldn't give you a satisfactory experience, iPhoto on MBP becomes unresponsive and loading large images takes a very long time. I still suspect if there's a need for this in a LAN environment or with smaller iPhoto library, it could be a good solution. Another point I should make which is very IMPORTANT: make sure the version of iPhoto you are using on both the machines are the same otherwise, the newer iPhoto might make changes to your library and make it unusable to the older iPhoto clients.
