Is it possible to connect my Powerbook G4 (10.4) to my Mac Mini (10.6) direct via Airport? I seem to remember doing so a few years ago but I can' get either to recognize the other now.

Both have sharing turned on..

Thanks, JT in Austin

If you're talking about an ad-hoc connection (not through an access
point or router) then you can do so by selecting "Create Network" from
the Airport drop-down menu. Shouldn't have any other problems than
that, though it's more likely that the newer computer will "see" the
older computer, instead of the other way around.
