Sending stuff between two iMacs – no internet
Wednesday, February 14, 2007 / Hardware, Networking
Greetings – data transfer between (2) G3 233mhz iMacs. Question: how to accomplish this without the Internet? Transferring files from one to the other. Through a USB hub? Appletalk? Ethernet through a router?
Without FireWire on your computer, the next best method for file transfers is over ethernet. You do not need a hub, router, or switch however. You can use a “Cross-over” ethernet cable. This is one that will work: Crossover 25ft Cable for iMacThen you just need to turn on AppleTalk over ethernet on both computers.
