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. > Then, from machine that is the destination, choose > "Connect to > Server..." from the "Go" menu in the Finder. > In the small window that opens, click "Browse" > and then navigate to > the name of the other computer and choose it, then click > "Connect". > (You may have to authenticate, which means entering the > user name and > password for the account on the other computer.

Re: How to transfer from a G3 without Firewire to a G3 with Firewire
John, Go to the "Sharing" preference panel and turn on "Personal File Sharing" on both machines. Then, from machine that is the destination, choose "Connect to Server..." from the "Go" menu in the Finder. In the small window that opens, click "Browse" and then navigate to the name of the other computer and choose it, then click "Connect". (You may have to authenticate, which means entering the user name and password for the account on the other computer. Don't connect as a guest, you probably won't be able to access any files.) If you have more than one account on the computer, you will have the chance to pick which user account (or the entire hard drive) you wish to open. In a few seconds, the hard drive of the other computer will appear on your desktop, but the icon will be different. It may be a blue or grey small globe. Double click it and you can drag any of the files you want onto the desktop of your destination computer. Let me know if you have any trouble doing this and I'll try to send you some screen shots. I'm doing the 10.3 part from memory because I have not run that OS since 10.4 was released. So, my descriptions may not be 100% accurate, but the procedure is correct. When you are finished accessing the other computer, drag that globe to the trash to "eject" the disk.

John, OS 10.3 on the older one, OS 10.4 on the newer. They are connected to a FiOS router, but I can't say that they are networked at least as I understand the term.

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.

RE: How to transfer from a G3 without Firewire to a G3 with Firewire
Thanks! Please bear in mind that I am in a mixed marriage (I am required to be a PC person because of work, but my wife has wisely mandated Macs at home), so I have to try to live in both worlds. Hence the following question: I can set up 'sharing' through the system tab?
