I find networking terribly confusing and I am not sure about what I am doing but try this;

Presumably you have Leopard installed on both computers. In Preferences open Sharing, Tick the Screensharing option and File Sharing as well assuming you want to share files. I guess you have to have these settings on both computers.

In Finder choose column view. In the sidebar under "Shared" you should see the name of the computer you are connecting to. If not open finder preferences and tick the options ( I have all 3 ticked.) Highlight the Computer name in the side and you should see options to "Connect As" and "Sharescreen" Click on Sharescreen and a window should open up with the desktop of the connected computer after your computer asks you for the user name and password of the other computer.

There is a bit more to it than that, but you'll work it out. i am still working out file sharing.

It's more or less the same, but with a few new bells and whistles.
The real WOW factor won't happen until the coders start releasing new software. Some of best improvements to OS X are under the hood, and not what you initially see.

Installed on a G4 mini (512Mb) and on a rev A Intel iMac (1Gb). So far so good. No crashes or blue screens (the iMac is a pretty hacked up machine so I was expecting troubles).

I'm still iffy about the new folder icons but that's easily fixed. I can see the point what with the move away from the pinstripe look (which I hated anyway)...something other than blue on blue would be better though IMHO.

Due to the crappy video card in the Mini....no transparent menu bar ....liking spaces..liking stacks...not bad at all.

As for stuff you don't see that is new in Leopard, here is an example:

iChat Theatre access

This enables coders to directly access iChat from within their apps. For example, you might have a sales and marketing app. The new functions allow you from within your app to see whether someone is online, then start up a chat from within the app. You can also pass video or audio from your app through to iChat theatre.

Back to the sales app, when a client comes online, you can message them, then let the watch the latest sales pitch your software creates, and pass that through to iChat Theatre.

From what I can gather, Leopard has laid an excellent foundation for some amazing apps in the future.

Has anyone had any issues with the icons in the dock?
I was playing with Photobooth and 3 icons turned into black boxes.
They went back to normal after I clicked on them and launched the program.
Also after using skype the icon in the dock displayed incorrectly.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but does the Dock still magnify? And if so, how's it look?
