I have a Macintosh Classic (7.0.1• or 7.5.5) that I am trying to add to my existing network via an Asante LocalTalk/Ethernet box (link lights good).

I have an aluminum PowerBook G4 (10.5.6), an original AirPort Base Station, a home made PC (XP SP3), a Brother laser printer, and an iMac G3 (10.4.11/9.2.2). They all see & talk to each other fine, connected together with a dumb 10T hub.

I've tried getting file sharing working between the iMac (running 9.2.2, of course) and the Classic and I've also tried setting up the Classic with a manual IP address (can't seem to ping it).

It's definitely some sort of a compatibility issue, either between 7.5.5 & 9.2.2 or the hardware disparity between the iMac & Classic. I'd like to get file sharing working, but if I can get IP I can set up ftp. Any ideas? Thanks.
