[G4] Target Disk Mode ?

[Jamie Pruden]

Hi Doug,

Both machines randomly choose a self-assigned IP address, so there's  
no problem with them connecting. There is a *very* slight chance they  
will choose the same address, but if they do, one of the machines  
will recognize that the IP address is in use and will change its  
address to give it a unique address.

smiles,
Jamie
