[HM] X and networking question

[Greg McNeil]

Jack,
I not sure if this will work, but when I want to access another 
computer on my all Mac network I go to connect to server under the Go 
menu in the finder. The computer I am on searches for servers on the 
network and shows them in a list. I just choose the one I want and 
click connect.

Try it if you haven't already.

Greg
