All you helpful experts --
To recapitulate my problem as briefly as possible, I've got a B&W G3 &
a Lombard, both running OS 10.3. A while back they started refusing to
connect by ethernet. Somebody on this list said the OS supports TCP/IP
over firewire, which of course the B&W has and the Lom

Very short answer, FW has an option to carry power along with data, if
it does, it uses the 6 pin connector you're familiar with. Your PC
card adapter doesn't provide power (nor do a lot of PC notebooks) and
so has a 4 pin connector. (T
Greetings listers --
As previously related, my computers (B&W G3 & Lombard PB, both running
Panther) adamantly refuse to see each other by way of ethernet. So (as
encouraged by list) I bought a firewire card for the Lombard on eBay:
it came yesterday and seems to work right out of the box, at

In that box click on New, then you should be able to select firewire.
Got it! So maybe once

No, but 10.3 allows you to use TCP/IP over firewire. Turn on both the
FW networking ports in the Network control pane, you can then use
rendezvous or bonjour or aloha or Howdy or whatever Apple's calling it
this week.
I just had a look, on t

It works just like "firewire disk mode" on later powerbooks.
A light may have dawned (!) -- if I get a firewire card for my Lombard
can I connect it to my B&W G3 (both running Panther), and transfer
files that way? For some reason that

Which OS, I'm thinking 8.6 or 9.1
9.1 has more features but 8.6 is a lot more stable. At least it was for
me -- the constant crashes during the brief period I used OS 9 were a
major incentive to move up to X.
Which browser?

I've never used file sharing over ethernet.
I was wondering if it would be fast enough for file backup.
It sounds like it worked for you.
Could I ask what size files you were backing up and how long it took.

Wow, Victoria, that IS a head-scratcher. Am I understanding you
correctly, to
say that the B&W "sees" the Lombard, and the Lombard "sees" the B&W,
but they
just won't connect?
I don't know whether they "see" each other or not: they certainly

Using a crossover cable makes for a twitchy set-up at best.
"intermittently"? You mean you unplug that cable now and then... I'd
expect that to eventually cause a failure as the networking (IP and/or
AppleTalk) stacks get out of sync wit

All of a sudden my ethernet connection won't connect. It's the simplest
possible network, two computers (a B&W G3 and a Lombard G-3 PB, both
running OS 10.3 and 9.2.2) intermittently tied together with a simple
crossover ethernet cable so that they can back each other up a
