Turn the G4 on first.
The 7300's ethernet doesn't 'see' a network unless the other end is
live (which is why a hub or switch makes this a better proposition
than a crossover cable. Also, the G4 has an autosensing ethernet
port, you don't need a crossover cable to cross over.) This is the
usual thing. You may be able to just reset the Appletalk to look at
the Ethernet port, it'll revert to printer port otherwise.
Enable File sharing over IP on the 7300.
Now they should see each other.
If they don't, look in one or the other's Networking prefs or System
Profiler, and make sure they have IP addresses (they'll be
192.168.something, I think) If one or the other has a different range
(I forget what range the machines will self-assign in) reset that one
to be in the others range, but not the same.
