(To keep this on this list, I can't connect to the G4 iMac, either!)
Kris, I have File Sharing and printer sharing enabled on all the
computers. All the G4s can connect from 1 to another without any
problems. I didn't know about <go the Finder>Go>Connect to Server...
and if the Mac you're sharing from isn't shown, click the "Browse"
button and select that Mac.> Thanks for that tip! I usually open the
hard drive and select Network. Is that option not available with 10.5?
How do you rename the computer so that it says ~user's iMac?
