1st computer: (trouble computer)  G4      2nd computer:  for example   
MacBook.

Scenario 1 : Macbook connects to G4 via file sharing, and starts to  
send a file to the G4,  the Macbook's Finder will lock up.

Scenario 2: G4 connects to Macbook via file sharing,  G4 attempts to  
grab a file and download from the macbook,  the G4's finder will lock  
up.


I've tried this several times, using two different macbooks and two  
different iMacs
as long as the G4 is in the mix, it causes the finder to lock up, on  
whoever initiates the file transfer

However these macbooks and iMacs can successfully copy files amongst  
themselves without problems.
