Btw, in response to an earlier post on MacLaw, my PowerBook is a 14" thus apparently there is no contrast setting. How weird.
Anyway, I bought a "Crossover" ethernet cable yesterday and then spent the next three+ hours trying every setting possible to get the two computers to talk to each other all to no avail. I set the permission levels to read & write in the Users and Groups panels, I set the file to be shared on the iMac and even (later) made a empty folder on the PowerBook with the same name (client text) so that there would be a file to be shared on both servers (the apple help said you needed to do that). I've done the "turning both of the appletalks on both computers "on" at the same time" - threemacs.com said that this was sometimes needed. AAaaaggggghhhhh! This is really frustrating. How can I find out if the ethernet port on my PowerBook even works? I suppose it might not as I just bought it used. The iMac has never been off my desk so I think I can assume that its okay. Are the cables often defective? The PowerBook is using OS 9.2.2 and the iMac uses 8.6 but that should not be a problem. I've read several postings on googlegroups.com and read everything on point at threemacs.com and I have tried every combination that was suggested on either site. Suggestions?
