Re: networking help needed

[David Klaus]

You should be able to do it fairly easily using Appletalk.   On the 
OS X system set the following System Preferences.  In the Network 
item turn on Apple Talk.    In the Sharing menu in the Services tab, 
turn on Personal File Sharing.   On the OS 9 system, in the Chooser, 
turn on Apple talk and the OS X system should appear in the pane.

I went out and bought a G4. So far I've managed to hook both the G4 
and my 8500 to the internet via my cable modem and a broadband 
ethernet router. What I want to do now is to network the two 
together. Can this be done?

I have: G4, OSX, USB hub with 4 ports (zip, color printer, scanner). 
8500, OS 9, USB port card, and laser printer.

I want to be able to share the printers between both computers. I've 
never networked before so this is all new.
