Thanks Drew, But this is only of it's connected to the powerbook right?
The scenario.... I have about 10 gigs of MP3 on a 60gb external firewire drive connected to the G4 running Mac OS9. On my Powerbook (Mandrake 8.2 beta), I'd like to mount the firewire drive, across the network, so that I can access the MP3's, I don't want to physically connect the drive.
