Re: How to transfer from a G3 without Firewire to a G3 with Firewire
You will have to zero/clear out the name that shows up when the authentication screen first appears and type in the user ID and password for the computer you are trying to connect to. --- On Tue, 10/14/08, John McClernan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: John McClernan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to transfer from a G3 without Firewire to a G3 with Firewire To: imaclist@googlegroups.com Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2008, 6:20 PM John, Go to the Sharing preference panel and turn on Personal File Sharing on both machines.

Re: How to transfer from a G3 without Firewire to a G3 with Firewire
Do you have USB ports? Is it possible to use an external hard-drive on both? I have a 300GB external HD that has my backup files for my PC. The HD will show up on the G3 but I don't think the PC files are executable. My PC and Mac will both read the same files on my flash-drive, and that may be the best option for you, if you are working outside of your home.
