Just setup my two iMacs as a computer to computer wi-fi network but apart from them being connected nothing else has happened.

I dont have any shared folders and there is no icon in my servers panel to indicate any form of interaction. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to set something up?

Never realy used a mac but have the same thing going on with my pc i had to go into control pannel onto network + internet connections then clicked on set up or change home network maybe that will help.

I think not. Better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove the doubt.

have you set up sharing in system prefs?

[Narate]

haha, sorted it now.

For future reference you have to turn all the sharing in the System Preferences. Then alter the permission for a folder called "Drop Box".

Then go to "Network" and it all should be there.

Erm, you don't have to turn on all the sharing - unless you want to share everything.

To just share the files in the drop box / other public folders you just need to turn on Personal File Sharing.

Not sure why you had to change the Drop Box permissions they should be correct by default.
