Hi all,
I successfully networked an SE to my G5, where both computers could
see
and share files on the other. Then, while I was playing with TCP/IP,
the classic stopped showing up. I have tried installing a clean copy
of OS 7.5.5 on the SE, and then installing the Ethernet adapter
software from scratch, but it still won't show up on the G5 Network,
where it used to show up fine.
Also, on the SE, when I go into the chooser, it shows the G5, but not
the iMac that is on the same router. When I click on the G5, it tells
me "This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol.
You cannot connect to it. Please contact the server's administrator."
As recently mentioned in another posting, using a pre-OSX machine as a
server for OSX ones is very erratic, sometimes showing up in the
Network pane, sometimes not, and often loosing the connection
suddenly. This has been discussed here and elsewhere, and the gurus
say there is no solution to this.
My experience is that it works well the other way, letting the OSX
machine be a server for the older machines. But I have only done this
with OS 8.x and 9.x. As your SE reports, OS 7.5.5 is too old, and not
compatible with the networking/sharing software in your G5. The newest
OS a SE can run is 7.6. Don't know if this would work, but worth a
try. I believe 7.6 is a now free download from Apple
What I have done for this type of situation is to leave one of my
systems running OS 9 as a server. The older systems can all get to the
OS 9 server, and the OS X boxes can get to it as well. I don't know if
this changed with Tiger, but through Panther this solution worked great
for me, with compacts (Plus, SE, SE/30), a Q840, and a bunch of others.
I had all of the classic systems networked via PhoneNet, and I had a
Beige G3 running OS 9 and LocalTalk Bridge. It worked great.
