I'm tryning to figure out why I can *no longer* connect my iMac (original Bondi) to my PB5300cs via ethernet.
PB setup - MacOS 8.1 (just did a fresh install to see if that was the problem - it doesn't appear to be), 40 MB RAM, GV Platinum Pro modem/ethernet card, AppleTalk set to Alternate Ethernet and turned On. I open the File Sharing control panel, set up a Network Identity, and click on the Start button underneath "File Sharing off" and wait - and wait and wait. The folder icon has the network symbol blinking on and off next to it, but file sharing never starts - I hear HD activity for a little bt but then it stops (FWIW, the iMac HD activity contiues until the Start/Cancel File Sharing button says Stop, the the HD activity ceases). It just says "File Sharing starting up" and will stay like that until the battery dies an hour and a half later, if I let it go that long. The MAJOR pain about this is that it *used* to work. I can turn on file sharing on the iMac and connect to the PB that way - the iMac's shared HD comes right up on the PB screen, and I can transfer files back and forth, so I assume that the ethernet connection is working ok. I also went through Apple's suggestions on their Knowledge Base on file sharing a PB5300, but to no avail. Any suggestions from y'all will be greatly appreciated!
