Greetings listers --
All of a sudden my ethernet connection won't connect. It's the simplest
possible network, two computers (a B&W G3 and a Lombard G-3 PB, both
running OS 10.3 and 9.2.2) intermittently tied together with a simple
crossover ethernet cable so that they can back each other up and so
that I can use whichever seems most convenient -- they virtually mirror
each other, or at least they did until the connection broke down a week
or so ago.

I'm afraid I can't help you troubleshoot your problem since I've never
used file sharing over ethernet.
I was wondering if it would be fast enough for file backup.
It sounds like it worked for you.
Could I ask what size files you were backing up and how long it took.
Since both of my Macs (Cube and the Lombard) are connected through
the same router (Cube by ethernet, Lombard wireless) I shouldn't need a
crossover cable.
Is there any security risk to having file sharing on?
I know in the Windows world it's a risk.
For what it's worth I'm behind a Linksys wireless router.
Thanks

technology is the answer, what was the question?
