The differences between your iBook and SE/30 are 1) iBook is 10/100 ethernet and SE/30 card is 10baseT only, and 2) iBook is capable of DHCP via Open Transport, and you are trying to use MacTCP on the SE/30 which cannot do DHCP. Even if you don't want to use AppleTalk, it is a good idea to get it working to eliminate your hardware and wiring as the cause of the problem. The Network control panel is the AppleTalk setting. When you use Open Transport the control panel is called AppleTalk. To find out if AppleTalk works, turn on File Sharing on your SE/30 and see if you can access the share from the G5. I don't know anything about Mac OS X Internet Connection Sharing, but if it requires DHCP on the client, MacTCP cannot do it. You will have to install Open Transport on the SE/30. IIRC the proper procedure is to install Open Transport 1.1 and then upgrade it to 1.2. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
