And even then, it's just giving it a 169 IP, to share off the one it got from the Router/modem. TargetMode is just going to give you a "disk drive" to hunt down your files and copy them over quickly - no need to have it running with a GUI. The only thing you'll probably have to do is authenticate some of the files you want to drag over with a password. Target Mode via FW (or USB if they are both Intel) is the way I'd go. Re: A networking question from the 90s - Jimmypoo - 07-02-2011 LocalTalk was great! Remember when modems made the big leap from 2400 baud to 9600 baud, but LocalTalk was a blistering 230kbit/sec?? An entire 30KB per second! Why.... that would copy a 40MB (MEGA-BYTE) drive in under 4 hours!!!

Windoze users had to add a Token Ring card or something to get their machine on a network. Heady days!

You can manually assign IP addresses to each device on your network quite easily.

That's exactly was it was.

I've also seen FDDI - although that was the backbone to string together a bunch of ethernet networks over a large area. |
