Usual checks first: Cables connected (mine do occasionally get pulled out by things moving at the other end of my desk, don't ask me how!), card seated right, switch ok. OK, now check: Filesharing is turned on (I presume you are running OS 9.x on the G3 as it wouldn't have worked with OS X at all unless you hacked OS X first) on both machines. AppleTalk is set to the correct port, *for the sake of argument that the IP addresses are both set and on the same sub-net, not that it should matter so much*. As you don't mention what OS you are using then I can't go into specifics at both ends. That's about all I can suggest. > What puzzles me is that i did nothing to loose it or get it!

AppleTalk over ethernet is a fickle beast. I have had it fudge up on me many a time, as well as being slow for no reason, spewing out constant crap for no reason, and suddenly refusing to copy files to a folder I just copied to. Weird, but true!

That's unlikely to make much difference on a IIci, as it's likely using legacy AppleTalk not AFP over IP. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
