Thanks for your advice Bob. I will look into getting a hub. Now, to answer your first question. On my PowerMac 7300/500, I use OS 9.1 most of the time. When I share files with my G4 iBook, I will always be using OS 9.1
I have file sharing set on the PowerMac 7300/500, and was able to access all the iBook files from the PM 7300. I tried setting up the iBook for File Sharing, but must be missing something somewhere. I need to be able to access files on the PM from the iBook too, but could not see anything from the PM while on the iBook. Another question: I have the router set up to the PowerMac 7300/500, and was wondering, if I get a hub, can I have the PowerMac connected to the router, and also have the PowerMac networked with my iBook at the same time, so I don't need to continually disconnect the ethernet cable each time I was to network? That would really be great if I could just leave the two computers networked, and also have them both online at the same time through the router. Thanks again for your advice and assistance. -- vjamacaddict 512Ke, SE, SE/30, Classic II, LC II, PB 540c, PM 7300/500, iBook G4 superdrive/bluetooth http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/VernAndrews/ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• > From: Bob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > What OS are you using on the 7300?
