or I will kill again. :0
I have a G4 rocking panther and have an ethernet cable(cat5) connecting this to another G4 rocking the OS 9 baby.
The bitches won't talk to eachother why oh why is this. Have they fallen out??.
I have file sharing on on both of the mamas and they can see other computers but the panther one refuses to recognise OS 9.

you need a router or a hub, you can't connect them with a standard utp cable, you can, but you need this special flipasomethingnullthingy cable.
- rabattski0
sorry. "...you can't connect then DIRECTLY with a standard..."
- chossy0
bollocks man I tried using it through the switcher first and it found all the OSX computers but not the classics and it won't connect directly you say hmmmm.

you will need a crossover cable, but like rabattski said, a router is the way better choice

I am using a router and I was using a crossover whatever you ma call em, It refuses to recognise OS 9.
Can you guys tell me if I am missing something basic I really think I have everything covered here :(.
- rabattski0
you have turned file sharing on on the os9 box? if so, do apple-k on your osx box. should show up.
- chossy0
:( yep all this has been done.
- rasko40
did you restart the os9 machine?
- rabattski0
tried different cables, rebooted etc? sounds like it's busted or something. i have a small mac os 9 / osx network here. the only thing that happens once in a while is that it doesn't show in the "finder" but apple-k always finds it.

will try a restrart the now hold on amigos........
- soda0
sounds like too much rocking...
- chossy0
ha ha, soda :)
mummy lover it will not work the OS 9 sees some computers as does the OS X (panther if that makes any diff.) But they do not recognise each other :(.
I will have to go home and get my lacie out, damn I'm gonna throw the OS 9 rocker of the top of mount 'wannahockalugee'.Thanks very much for your help though much appreciated.
Except for soda he is a fool ;).
