Hi Steven, I'm going a bit on memory re OS9 but if you are going to transfer over ethernet, first make sure you have file sharing on the OS9 machine turned on and the hard disk (or partition, if relevant) where the data resides set as shared.
You may probably need some of those extensions you've turned off back on for it all to work. Generally (but not always) extension problems were due to third party extensions - so go with just turning on the basic Apple extension set. OSX should see OS9 over ethernet -so make sure you connect from the OSX MacBook Pro to the OS9 Powerbook and not vice-versa. If the machine still won't show up when browsing the network try checking the actual ethernet address on the OS9 machine and put that in as the "connect to" address on the OSX machine.
