You missed the info that the original poster already has a hardware bridge (AsanteTalk), so LocalTalk bridge is not called for (and, in any event, it is only useful if you have a mac with both a localtalk and an ethernet port). To make a long story short, there is no reason why it should not work using Appletalk (but not with file sharing over IP). I have shared files between a B/W g3 running Jaguar and a Quadra running 7.5.3, so I know it's feasible. Things to check: - Appletalk is turned ON in both machines (it is OFF by default in OS X 10.2) - Appletalk is set to use the modem/printer port on the powerbook - file sharing is ON and the hard drive on the powerbook is set be shared (iirc, select the HD icon in the Finder, and under Find->Sharing... check "Share this item and its contents") - cables are ok - have the user and password set up on the powerbook (iirc, in the Users&Groups CP, or maybe the File Sharing CP -- depending on the OS version, don't remember which) If all is right, in the Jaguar finder Go->Connect to Server... and it ought to appear. Enter the username and password and the icon for the powerbook HD should be right there on the desktop. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
