No, you can use it. The G4 autosenses what kind of ethernet cable
is in use. The primary advanbtage of this is that you can use a
regular cable rather than a crossover one to connect two such
connected machines. But since you already have the pretty red one,
go ahead and use it.
Yep. What Bruce said. As far as the 7300 not seeing the network, if
you set the IPs manually and tell the 7300 specifically which IP you
want to connect to, it should connect without any trouble.

I have and am taking all advice seriously. I grab your suggestions
and make clippings on my DT and I give things a go and get into an
awful mess anyway! I made a blow by blow account that would depress
you. So, I won't send it or say much yet, I want to try a few things
more. What struck me is how I am trying to wing it, get lucky, do
this and that without a proper understanding of what the hell is
going on! need to understand how Appletalk, TCP, and the various
other denizens interact or what roles they have. For example when
folks eg Bruce talks about setting the Appletalk to other than the
printer, I think to myself, hells bells, but my printer needs it on
printer! So I "walk in the dark" ...
I have a book on X and it goes on and on and sounds sensible but it
simply does not seem to take seriously the possibility that someone
might just want to connect 2 Macs, one on X and one on 9 and be happy
with that, much time is discussed on the limitations, on all the
other fancier things that can be done... The help files are rather
like this too!
Later I will be very interested to set up my own server. But for now
I want to be able to use one of my 7300 or 7600s with attached laser
printer which has only a serial connection and so cannot be
practically directly attached to the QS - (please no suggestions
about how it can be, I have looked into it, it is a cost thing and a
psychological thing. I _should_ just go out and buy a USB printer!
But what would be the fun in that?).
I would like to be able to order printing via the QS. In other words,
I have something to print and I do something on the QS and it prints
(via the 7300)! But I will settle for less. For example, turning to
the 7300 controls and grabbing the file from the QS and ordering the
printing on the 7300. You see, I don't really know at this stage what
is possible with my equipment.
