Use Macbook Pro as extended display.

hello all,

have imac , macbook pro both mid 2011.

bought thunderbolt cable, , i'm able use imac extended display using target display mode (cmd+f2), cannot use macbook pro in same manner. doesn't work.

there other way use macbook pro extended display, using either: gigabit ethernet cable or thunderbolt cable? know can use screenrecycler , jollysfastvcn works on wifi network.

i'd able use cabled connection if possible.
