Hello again.
I never had to conect two computers together. Now I have. Here's
the setup:
iMac G5/Tiger -> 6500/9.1
I tried all there is to be done. Played around with Network and
sharing prefs. This is simply not possible to connect both Mac.
There must be something I do that is wrong but I really can't know.
A few weeks ago, under Panther, I succeded to conenct my iBook
clamshell to the iMac but I could do it only once since I never knew
by which means I did it. A case of pure luck I guess. But now I
really have to connect the 6500 and the iMac. Please, coud someone
help me doing it like doing a list of the steps, like
1- plug, 2 go there, 3 do that. I really can't do it by myself and
the Apple help is not "helping" me.

Basically, you have to use a CROSSOVER Ethernet cable, have Appletalk
enabled on both machines, have File Sharing enabled on both machines.

AppleTalk doesn't work for sharing in Tiger, you have to use IP.
Crossover cable is required if you are hooking up two computers
together without a hub or switch. Go to Network pref pane on the
Tiger machine, find out the IP address (TCP/IP tab). On the OS9
machine, go to Chooser, and click on the connect via IP button (don't
remember exactly what it says). Type in the address of the iMac and
it should show up. To get to everything, connect as the same user
that is currently running on the iMac.
