You need to change from EtherTalk built in to Ethernet Built in. EtherTalk sends IP over AppleTalk which the rest of your network cannot communicate with. > > On the PC, ping cannot reach the Mac's IP address (times out). > On the PC, net view is unable to view either \\name or \\192.168.0.22 > On the Mac, I can't work out how to ping. Is there a way? There is an application named MacTCP Watcher you can find online that will let you ping and do other things. <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/4191> > On the Mac, I can't find a way to connect a network share?

Your best bet is to us FTP to do file transfers. NetPresenz will let you set up your Mac as an FTP server and you'll need an FTP client on the Windows machine. <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/4192> -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
