I want to connect my 520 to my newer machines via ethernet to transfer
files. I have a 520 with a PPC upgrade board, running system 7.5.5. I
own a transceiver, but I've never used it. I have MACTCP 2.0.6. in the
Chooser, I have a choice of LocalTalk, Ethernet, or AOL.
I have an iMac and a PBG4 both running wirelessly to an Airport
Extreme, which has an ethernet IN connection (actually WAN and LAN). I
also own a Lynksys 8-port router (not wireless) which used to act as a
DHCP server for my iMac. I used the Lynksys as a firewall between the
iMac and the cable modem and it was serving DHCP to my iMac. I assume
that the airport does that for me know, and the Airport is serving
DHCP. both my iMac and my PB are receiving wireless signals from the
Airport.
My plan had been to connect the iMac directly to the Airport; however,
it sounds like I could connect my PB520 there instead. Is this so? If
so, could I then transfer files to my newer computers? From what I can
find out, I can go old system to X but not the other way around. that's
OK.
Do I have the proper control panels to do this. Do I need Open
Transport? I don't think it is available in 7.5.5. I don't see anything
similar in the control panels.

What is a transciever and where do I get it? How much?
You will not need any additional software. Should be a usual
DHCP Ethernet connection.
That's the AAUI adapter that plugs into the small d-connector on the
back
of the 540. The adapter will then have an ethernet connector on the
end--usually it's an RJ-45, but when buying be careful--there are a few
round-cable connectors (B-something?) available. These adapters go on
ebay for a buck or two.
What is this? How do I set up?
Set your TCP/IP control panel for DHCP, have OpenTransport on your
machine, and set AppleTalk to on--you should be good to connect via
your
browser, telnet, fetch or other program.
