Hi Guys,
Still no luck. I follow James' directions below and:
1. The newt says 'Loading the DHCP protocol' and eventually goes back
to the IP Address pane - where I have 'connect via TCP/IP' selected and
an IP address entered that flashes up on the network preference control
panel of the G5 when the Newt tries to connect.
2. The Mac just says 'Listening to all addresses' on the NewtSync
pane...
I feel like a bit of a dufus - sorry for hassling but I really want
this to work :)
Cheers and thanks to all,
Rob
