Been watching the thread about broadband on a compact with interest, because I am
trying to something similar to that myself. Not being very knowledgable of networking
I'm unsure what I need to install to go about this. Back when I more routinely worked
with System 7.1, I was completely network-ignorant: the Macs in the computer labs at
school "just worked" when you plugged them in. That was good then, but bad now that I
have to set it up myself.
I have an SE/30 (with NIC) that usually runs NetBSD, but occasionally could get
rebooted to let me access vintage Mac media (like floppies or my SCSI Zip drive). As
I mentioned, it has System 7.1 installed, but I seem unable to get it to talk with my
G5 (running Panther). I'd like to be able to share files via AppleTalk, at least.
Right now the SE/30 Chooser says the AFP version on the G5 is incompatible, and the G5
doesn't seem to see the SE/30 shared folders at all. If the SE/30 had a FTP client, I
could use that instead of AppleTalk. I'll take any solution that works.
It's been suggested I need OpenTransport on the SE/30. Do I, or do I just need newer
versions of the CPs and Extensions I already have, or something else entirely? I've
been searching the internet, but can't quite put the pieces together.
Thanks,
Tim
