I've got a new 20" iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz machine that I've setup to share files with my 12" PowerBook G4 1.5GHz. Both machines are wirelessly connected to a common WiFi router. In both machines I went to System Preferences -> Sharing and then enabled Personal File Sharing.
From the iMac, when I click on network I can see a link to the PowerBook and I can log in as myself (a Registered User). I can manipulate files without issue. Copying files form the PB to the iMac, however, is exceptionally slow. A 675MB file took >25 minutes to copy from one machine to the other. Shouldn't I be getting something much faster?
From the PowerBook Network window I can see a link to the iMac but when I click on it a window titles, "AFP Connection Status" pops up and in it it says, "Looking up blah, blah IP address. Eventually I get a "Connection failed: The server may not exist or is not operational..."
If anybody has any advice as to where I should start with the problems I'd greatly appreciate it!
