    Just got a dv3t but I can't get it to connect with my Mac Pro, either directly with an Ethernet cable (the device appears on my desktop but I can't access any files, likewise the Mac appears as a MACxxxxxxx address but I can't access it on the dv3t).

    The dv3t does connect to the Airport Base Station wireless network, but I can't access the Mac Pro wirelessly--is there a way to do that? (set up a home network different from the Internet network? i have file sharing activated on the mac)

    Thanks
