os9 pppoe & 10.2 pppoe networking
Is it possible to file share my os9 mac with my osx mac while they are both using ppp over ethernet? i have been shutting down pppoe on my osx mac and starting up appletalk in order to fileshare the two (through the chooser on the os9 box).
i fileshare the osx box instead of the os9 box because i have some firewire drives i like to share with my non-firewire beige g3.
they are both connected to the internet using pppoe (macpoet for os9) and a speedstream external dsl modem (earthlink)...and a network hub.
also...hehe, i thought i would ask...is there anyway to use my cisco 678 router in conjunction with my speedstream in order to get some NAT services, and a hardware firewall?
thanks in advance
p.s. i hate pppoe

you can use that router in place of the hub. Just connect it to your dsl ethernet modem (it is ethernet, not usb, right?), then connect your Macs to the router in the right ports. Now connect with PPPoE once and configure it to keep the connection always on, both Macs should have constant 'net access, in addition to the LAN created by your router.
If you turn on file sharing over tcp/ip for the OS 9 Mac, it should be visible by your OS X Mac.
