Hi everyone!

I have an iMac and a Macbook. The iMac is plugged to the D-Link DIR-300 router by the ethernet connection. I have internet on the iMac by ethernet and on the Macbook by wireless. No problems.

I wanna use file sharing and screen sharing between the two computer. So, on "System Preferences > Sharing" I put it able on the 2 computers allowing the administrator. The iMac can perfectly read and write files on the Macbook, and can view the Macbook screen.

But the Macbook cannot go inside the iMac. After clicking on "Connect As" I have to wait minutes and the connection fails. On the same finder window, sometimes the small icon before the name iMac appears like an old computer. Isn't it strange?

Please, help me if you can.

Thank you.
