I remember having this problem in the past; where certain computers
can connect one way, and others can't see each other. 10.4 wasn't
quite as good with networking as 10.5 is; I think your problem on your
tower computer is that in 10.5 you have to click on the "Connect
As..." button and put in the name and password for your PowerBook, and
check the Remember box. Otherwise, you are only seeing what a user
connected as a guest would see. As for the other problem, I can't
quite say what we did to solve the problem; we had a Linksys router
(that was notoriously hostile towards Macs) but it broke, and we got a
Time Capsule, and haven't had any problems since. So if you do have a
Linksys or other router, I would try playing with the settings a
little bit. You also might try changing the encryption for your
network, for example from WEP to WPA, if you can. Hope that helps,
