Well, I know nothing of 10.3, but I know share points allow me to see my Color Classic (II) from my G4 running 10.2.8. If you'd like, I'll look at the settings on Sharepoints, networking, and anything else relevent and pass them on to you (off list, as that's very close to being OT) >It doesn't seem to matter how I try to configure the CC (I'm figuring the >problem is in the CC due to the fact that no lights come on on the hub when >I connect it) nothings seems to work.

To eliminate possibilities, try these ideas out. If you can boot into OS 9 on your iBook, try file sharing from that OS. If you can in that OS, you know Sharepoints is the culprit. To eliminate the bad cable theory, hook the iBook up to the router via cat5 (instead of wireless), and get on the internet. You'll probably have to make some temporary changes in the TCP/IP preferences to make that work. Once you have a known good cable (if you can get on the 'net with it, it's gotta be good enough), use that cable to hook your 'book and Mystic together. If it works you've likely got a bad cable in the mix somewhere. Or your wireless card isn't playing nicely with the wired ports (I've no idea how to fix that) If it doesn't work, I'll venture a guess that you need to spring for a new ethernet card, or if you have another Mac available, check and see if you can file share between the Mystic and it. >I'm sure the answer is something simple that I've overlooked, suggestions >would be great. > I'd bet that it is too, and I'd also bet it's a software issue, not hardware.
