It's the weirdest thing. Both the iBook and the Lombard are on 10.3.9.

I am not using a hub, just connecting the two computers with a cable. This cable works to connect the Lombard to the iMac and there is recognition. Lombard or iMac connected to iBook, nothing shows up to choose. I did set the iBook's ethernet from (en1) to (en0), but that didn't do anything.

The iBook shows an active ethernet in the network preference panel. It looks normal. I connected using the sharing panel exactly as I did the Lombard.

The software was freshly installed when I got it, I had to configure it. I updated it from 10.3.3 to 10.3.5 to 10.3.9. I certainly didn't do anything to the preferences that I didn't do to the Lombard.

I even tried opening Appletalk, but that didn't do anything either.

I'm going to look into getting a USB to ethernet adapter for a few bucks, and see how that goes. I don't use ethernet much, but when I need it, I need it! :p
