Unfortunately, I still run into the problem that I can only have 1 IP 
address. If I use the IP address for file sharing, then I can't 
connect to the internet from the Rev B and vice versa. I don't know 
if this limitation is in OS 9, or a hardware limitation.

To recap:

  I have a G3 Rev B iMac running OS 9.x that I need to do following:

1. Connect to the internet through the internal modem
2. Connect to the G4 iMac & G4 Powerbook for file sharing

I would also LIKE to connect to my AirPort network for the capability 
of connecting to the internet via my WiMax connection. Remember, this 
G3 iMac does NOT have a Airport card slot (unless someone has made 
one that can connect to the Mezzanine Slot) This connection would 
also replace the cat5 crossover cable currently between the two iMacs
