Only way I could get my G3 and PC to talk was with FTP.. I didn�t feel like blowing money on PCMacLan or Dave just to get some files off the PC so.. I had to use OS X on the Mac, turned on File Sharing and set it to accept connections via FTP and remotely and so forth.. From my PC, I just loaded up CuteFTP, typed in my Mac's IP address and there it went.. I still cant go from the Mac to the PC but it works fine the other way.. Oh yeah, I was using a Linksys Router to connect the two..
