Hi Mark,
You did not say what OS's your various machines are running, but it sounds like they are probably all using some flavor of OS9.
This would be easier to do with an ethernet hub or a router with multiple ethernet connections, as you can network all three machines at the same time.
Or, you can use an Ethernet Crossover cable and network them one-to-one.
I borrowed my son's cable which he assures me works as a genine crossover.
It will usually say, on the cable, that it is a crossover cable. A regular ethernet cable will not work as crossover.
While the Ethernet connection shows up in TCP IP on the S-900 and 7300, the Wall Street shows only an infra ray and the modem printer port options.
You might verify that the Ethernet Extensions and Control Panels are loaded in the system folders on the laptop. (It is sometimes easier to check if any likely sounding ones are in the Disabled Folders)
Is this why I can't seem to see files between the machines? Or is TCP/IP
irrelevant. I go to file sharing but I can't see anything but my own machine.
You need to set up file sharing, in the File Sharing Control Panel, on each machine, before they will be able to see each other. You then select what to share using the "Sharing" tab in the Get Info Box. For example: you can click on your hard drive, select Get Info, then choose to share that entire drive. Or, you can do the same thing with just a particular folder.
Can anyone walk me through it, step by step?
