Making the Most of Your Network Connection


Overview

Ever since the Internet boom of the 1990s, it seems that everyone and everything is networked. Mac OS X Panther keeps pace with all the latest networking developments. With Panther, you can use the network to share files with Macintosh and Microsoft Windows computers as well as devices such as the iPod.

File sharing is just one of the many uses of a network connection available to you in Panther. Using iChat, you can trade files, exchange text messages, and even teleconference with full-motion video and high-quality audio. With iTunes, you can turn your network into a jukebox instantly. Using practically any application, you can send faxes to anywhere in the world.

Besides communication and multimedia, the network is great for utility purposes. Using the Terminal application, you can remotely control other computers on the network, repair a frozen Mac, and even peek at hidden files on an iPod. Panther supports all sorts of networking protocols and even has a built-in software firewall.

Printing is yet another perfect use for your network. With a few simple clicks, you can share printers on the network. This gives multiple computers on the network the option of printing with the same printer.
