Hi,
I want to connect a MacBook, running Leopard 10.5, to my Peer network.
Currently the Peer network has three computers on it, two running
eComstation 1.2R and the other with Warp 4.51. The Warp 4.51 computer is
my office desktop and it serves as the Injoy PC (the gateway). Yes, I am
among the only 10% or so of the computer-using population that still uses
dial-up. The other two are ThinkPad T23s, both with eCS 1.2R.
I guess I have two problems.
1. I want the MacBook to see the Injoy PC and see it's connection to the
internet. The Injoy PC, of course, is using the Injoy Dialer with the
Network Address Translation (NAT) feature.
2. I want the add the MacBook to my Peer Network, so that files can be
shared and so the MacBook can use the printer - which is attached to the
Injoy PC.
As to #1.
On the MacBook, in Network/Ethernet, I chose manual configuration and for
IP address I gave it 192.168.1.9. (The Injoy, or gateway, computer is
192.168.1.1 and the two ThinkPads are 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3). The
Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. For router I entered 192.168.1.1, which is
the gateway computer. I didn't know what to enter for DNS Server, so I
included several IP addresses, including that for the local host
(127.0.0.1) and the gateway PC. I didn't enter anything in the "Search
domains" field. Under advanced there is an opportunity to configure IPv6;
I don't know that that is, and left it set to Automatic.
Having specified these things, the MacBook can ping the gateway PC, but
(unlike the ThinkPads) it doesn't see the internet connection. What else
do I need to configure or specify to get the MacBook to see the Gateway
PC's internet connection?
As to #2.
Under Sharing in System Preferences I selected File Sharing and designated
certain folders to be shared. Under Options I selected Share Files and
Folders using AFP and Share Files and Folders using SMB. I suspect the not
both of these is needed -- but which one is the one to use?
Having done this, the other machines on the Peer network do not see the
Macbook (looking in the Shared Resources and Connections folder under
Shares).
Also, in the MacBook I do not see anyplace to activate connections (that
is, shares made available by other computers on the network). How is this
done?
In short, how to I set up Peer Networking on the Mac?
Thanks.
