[G4] Help! I can't get Panther OSX to network with OS 9.2.2

[Alex Hurst]

Hi all you G4 experts.

The Net is truly wonderful!

Found this nugget at:

http://macusersforum.com/lofiversion/index.php?t4119.html

Another thing to try would be to go to the Utilities folder on your 
Mac OS X machine, open Directory Access and check the box next to 
AppeTalk, click on Apply.
AppleTalk is disabled by default in Panther while it was On by 
default in Jaguar. Since OS 9 uses AppleTalk for Networking this 
might be the snag right there.......

And voila, it works! My G4 in Panther now sees the G3 files.... :-)

OTOH, I'm still getting the busted connection message on both G3s, 
even though they can see the G4 in Chooser.....:-(

I love the way Apple makes it so easy for tyros like me..........

Anyone got any ideas on getting the G3s to G4 connection working?

Best

Alex
