I may install the router between them to see if that will work. Click to expand... Is the 7.5 box using Appleshare over IP, if not you are wasting your time. To resolve the IP…

Thanks again. I tried unique IP addresses for each machine to no avail. Footnote - I can network (via ethernet) my PPC7600 to my iMac and my iMac to my G3 but I can't seem to netw…

With prices the way they are, I would agree to get a G3 powerbook. Any pre-Pismo is going to be very affordable. Even the Pismos are not too bad. Edit: Actually I take back what…

Hear hear. I long had a cs before upgrading to the Lombard, and loved it. The screen is definitely a tad blurry though, so if you can find a c at a reasonable price, nab that. B…

OR trawl Battery World and Jaycar for a higher capacity, single 3V lithium cell, small enough to tuck away somewhere inside

Nope, its as simple as just going into TCP/IP and giving both machines a unique IP address. You only need a router if you're connecting the machines to the Internet. Its just a mat…

Assigning each a static address makes sense to me. Is that as simple as manually assigning the addresses in TCP/IP or do I need to connect a router in between them and do so throug…

Well, I'm happy to report that I'm posting this from my freshly-renovated Beige G3! I scrounged eBay and found a nice Rage128/16 card, a 500MHz G3/ZIF chip, and a set of overclock…

Why do you need DHCP, anyway? If you've only got the two machines on the network, wouldn't it be easier to just give each a static IP? (most likely in the 192.168.0.xxx range)

Try putting a router in between them. I had a my PowerBook 150 connect to my iMac G3 (9.2.1) instantly after the driver installed for the ENSC Mini and rebooted. Click to expand…

Oh, and have you plugged it in?

Good old "ZAP the PRAM", as the AppleTalk node is held in PRAM and may not be being negotiated properly. Click to expand... The AppleTalk client should negotiate a unique ID ev…

In answer to your initial question, yes! The 1400 is a great early PPC portable which is suitable for many retro tasks, and has the benefit of being able to run System 7, 8 and 9. …

Is file sharing on? Are the file sharing extensions enabled? Confirm both have AppleTalk configured on ethernet. Confirm both machines only have one ethernet port. What zones d…

Thanks. I have Appletalk on and set to ethernet on both the PPC7600 and the G3. Still can't get them to connect using the chooser.

The PPC7600 is running OS 7.5 and the G3 is running OS 8.6 Click to expand... I would expect the 7.5 box to be using AppleTalk for AppleShare, not TCP/IP. Try setting up Apple…

The networking settings (particularly IP address and subnet mask) are correct?

1400s never came with a card installed at the factory. Apple made video and ethernet cards, as did NewerTech, but the only way to buy a 1400 brand new with a card was to buy from a…

No, no, they were completely different physically: the 5300 had a ~12x4cm card whereas the 1400 took a fairly square ~6x4cm card. Of course, they were the same electrically, more …

The ports on the 1400 are the same as the 5300, except for the fact that the 1400's expansion slot could hold either video or Ethernet solutions Click to expand... The 1400 exp…
