I'm sorry, but I get the feeling that my question is being misunderstood.

Here's the physical setup, minus the PB G4, laser printer, and PC:

iMac G3 (9.2.2)

man IP 10.0.1.51

|

dumb 10T Enet hub<----->original silver AirPort 10.0.1.1

|

Asante LT/Enet box

|

Mac Classic (7.0.1• OR 7.5.5, which ever will work, plus MacTCP)

man IP 10.0.1.53

The Classic is not responding to ping commands, and neither the iMac or Classic see each other via file sharing. Installing on the Classic Network Software 1.5.1 & AppleShare Client 3.5 on 7.0.1• or AppleShare Client 3.6.5 on 7.5.5 have not helped. I know the Asante box works, and I was able to network two Classics via LocalTalk, and the iMac file shares fine with my PowerBook and PC, so it shouldn't be a hardware issue.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer to get file sharing working, but I'll settle for getting IP working so I can file share via ftp instead. Thanks.
