I was finally able to transfer my files from the 7100 to the ibook
G4! Thanks to all who helped with suggestions and information.
Ended up having the reinstall the system. There was a good article
addressing the "file sharing could not be enabled" message in the
apple knowledge base, and an excellent primer on getting the system
settings in place at macsonly.com.
Turns out I never was able to enable file sharing on the 7100, but it
didn't matter. The big problem of "connection to server was
unexpectedly broken" was fixed by reinstalling the system, and
possibly by setting the IP addresses of each computer manually. When
I did those things, and turned on appletalk on the 7100, and selected
the ibook from the list, I was able to get the appleshare icon to
appear on the 7100 desktop with the Hard disk of the ibook.
This worked without upgrading any software on the 7100. I only had
the original system 8.1 components.
Thanks again, Guy

Well, I'm glad someone is getting networking to work, because after
many many hours of trying, I've come up with zilch. The 7100
(OS8.1) lists the ibook(OS10.4) in chooser, but when you try to
select it, it gives the error message "connection unexpectedly
broken" and does not connect. The ibook shows the 7100 in the
network file area, but when you highlight it and click on the
connect button, it gives the message that AFP is messed up and does
not connect.
I wonder if it would be easier to get a zip drive that would
connect to the ibook USB and read the zip disks from the SCSI drive
on the 7100, or to find an adapter for my external SCSI hard drive
from the 7100 so that it could be used with the ibook? Perhaps it
would be easier to install an earlier OS on the ibook that supports
appleshare.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

So, I'm assuming the 'updated browser' that Dan mentioned is this
'Appleshare IP server suite', but there seems to be no place to
download it from apple's web site--they only have updaters for
those
with previous versions of IP.
AppleShare Client

- Dan.
A note of appreciation to Dan from yet another reader.
All this talk of networking made me suspect that I should be able to
initiate a network from my 6100 (still running OS 7.6.1!) to my
wife's eMac
(under Panther 10.3.9). Formerly I could initiate a network
connection
only from the eMac. Thanks to Dan's suggestion, I can now initiate
networking from either machine. This valuable new capability was
provided
by installing AppleShare Client 3.8 (referred to in the link that Dan
provided).
I did hit a temporary snag: my 6100 under OS 7.6.1 was running Open
Transport 1.1.1, but the ReadMe that accompanies AppleShare Client
warned
that I had to upgrade to 1.1.2 or later. I searched Apple's website
fruitlessly for a separate download of _any_ version of Open
Transport.
It seems that Open Transport is available only on Mac OS
installation CDs
or images, and the version included with my OS 7.6 CDs and the
7.6.1 Update
is O.T. 1.1.1. Some later versions of Open Transport are 1.2
(included, I
think, with Mac OS 8.0) and 1.3 (included in Mac OS 8.1). Since I
have the
install images for Mac OS 8.1 on hand, I upgraded Open Transport
to version
1.3.
So I am now running OS 7.6.1 successfully with Open Transport
1.3. I still
have no idea of how a person could obtain O.T. 1.1.2 if that were
_really_
needed.
