How To Connect 2 Mac Together

How To Connect 2 Mac Together

Imagine: you have to transfer large files between 2 Mac, either movies, directories or else
A very simple way to do it is to make one Mac as a "Slave" and the other one as a "Master"

You just need a Firewire cable and to follow the instructions...

1) Turn on the "Master", leave the "Slave" off
2) Plug the Firewire cable between the 2 Mac
3) Turn on the "Slave" On while holding the T Key (Target Mode)
4) After few seconds, you'll see the Firewire Symbol appear on the screen of the "Slave". ( The Logo is an example of a Firewire Symbol)
5) It's ready! From Finder on the "Master" Mac, you can access the "Slave" and transfer larges files in a zap!

Happy Birthday!

Hey! I was born today!

So, be cool with me, I just need few hours to awake ...
Thanks

Security Tip: Check Your Firewall

Mac / Windows

Check Your Firewall

A Firewall is set of security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to a networked computer system. (i.e. connected to the internet)
Without an effective firewall, your computer is “open” to the outside world.
A very rapid way to check the status of your firewall (if any), is to perform a simple test made by GRC.com
At the end of the test, the result should look like the following (True Stealth)


If you end up with red or blue squares, read the documentation on GRC.com
Open port: the door is wide open! Bad news!
Closed port: the door is closed, but “they” know that there is a door.
Stealth port: the best: you are truly invisible; “they” don’t know that you even exist.

How To Perform a Test:
Go to www.GRC.com (Shield Up) Click on “Proceed” and select “All Service Ports”
A test should take about 60 seconds

While you’re at it, take an extra 30 sec and check the “File Sharing” especially if you are using Windows ;-)
