I've got two Kanga Powerbooks running 9.1 and wanted to connect them to transfer files. I plugged an ethernet cable into both machines' ethernet ports (I have gotten both on the internet via these ports so I know they both have ethernet capability). Unfortunately I get an error message from the AppleTalk control panel whenever I try to select "ethernet" that says the port cannot be accessed. I was able to connect the machines with IrDA (highly unstable), but I would like to be able to connect them via ethernet. Are there any settings I should look at first?
