Wouldn't the firewall only block inbound connection attempts? And even if it was blocking outgoing, why is the shared printer showing? If I know anything about Linux, it's pissy about permissions. Do the perms on the shared dirs on the G4 (droooool) include read access for your user/others? This could include a chmod +x (do you have chmod on a Mac?) on the dirs so they are 'searchable'. Are the usernames in sync (not that this is strictly necessary)? -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.orderinchaos.org Kernel 2.4.22-21.tmb.1mdk Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 17:31:00 up 3:35, 7 users, load average: 1.33, 1.43, 1.35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival...." -- Noam Chomsky
