From: heron stone on 4 Feb 2010 23:35 I don't understand why people are so concerned about security. In my case, there are no other wireless networks being picked up by my Mac. And I'm trying to stop a 26-year-old female grocery store checker from using my wireless network without paying for it. I'm using an 8-character alpha-numeric password with WPA2. Why would i need more? Doug -- unDO email address ___ Nature, heron stone to be commanded, http://gendo.net must be obeyed. mailto:heronDO(a)gendo.net
From: Doug Jantzer on 5 Feb 2010 01:17 OK, my network is now password protected using WPA2. But I can no longer share between my MBP and my mini. Before, I could simply open a new finder window and click on "Connect As...", enter my password and connect the two machines. Now I get this... Connection failed The server "r7" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again. What do I have to do?

I restarted both systems and that seems to have done it. Everything's connecting now. |
