Direct Ethernet connection to a mac

[Jan]

Hello all,

I had a very nice configuration on my late alpha xbian install, which allowed me to use my ethernet cable to directly copy large files over to my raspi's external hd. The only thing I had to do for this to work was to disable wifi on my mac during the start of the connection. That was very practical but is gone since I installed Beta 1.2. Now, I cannot find the page where this was explained. I think it was something about routing, but that's not something I know very well...

Any hope anybody could give me a short explanation on what I have to do (actual terminal commands gladly welcome)?

Thanks,
Jan
