>From John Slavin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have the following further suggestion:
"One thing you will need to do on the Wallstreet is make sure that Appletalk is an active extension (or is it a control panel and extension), but anyway you need to make sure that appletalk is set to use ethernet. And then on the OSX machine, go to the networking and for the ethernet port, make sure the appletalk checkbox is checked. Do you need to enable sharing if it's the X machine that's being shared?" ********** OK, I've just found that there is a "Web Sharing" control panel on OS 9.2.2. Is that what needs to be turned on to on the Wallstreet II to locate the iBook over the Ethernet crossover cable? If that's where I have to set it up on the Wallstreet end, what, exactly, do I have to do in this control panel to activate the connection? Anything else? What should I see on each machine when the connection is active? Will I be able to drag files and folders from one machine to the other? Thanks again, you gracious experts!

This will enable AFP and then you should be able to see the ibook in the chooser on the WallStreet.

I imagined this was an easy question, but I've never done it, and don't know how. How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and an iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy files from one to the other? Here's the equipment I have available to me which might prove useful: - USB A-B cables and a Belkin USB hub - straight and crossover ethernet cables, - D-Link DWL Wireless USB adapter, - 2 USB Bluetooth adapters- a D-Link Bluetooth DBT-120, and a Mitsumi CE0197, - Belkin 802.11B PCMCIA CardBus Wireless Notebook Network Card F506020. I don't know which device and/or cable to use, for what, and how. I don't know whether to attach these before startup, which machine to start first, which control panels to set up on each machine, and in what order, etc. Do any of these units require drivers which may need to be installed in either system? Does one of the machines have to be a master and the other a slave? Does one of the operating systems have to have control over the other? Have you ever done this? Please tell me how! If you really know how, will you please explain it step-by-step? Has someone written a simple guide to how to do this, which I can download & read? I've checked MacHelp for "connecting two (or 2) powerbooks" and have found nothing which seems to address this topic. Also, if you're attempting to respond to this appeal, please be kind enough to copy my email with your answer, to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> since I've been receiving a large percentage of "bounce" messages relating to postings to the list, and therefore, I'm probably not seeing more than one in four or five. Please give me any help you can! At least, please try to point me in the right direction! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
