Both are connected through a Speedtouch ADSL router. No crossover cables in sight.
Turn on TCP/IP and make sure you can ping each other. That will verify that your NICs and cabling are working properly.
No dice. A connection is there cause the router is indicating one with it's LED.
Well, then you have more than just a simple problem if you can't get either protocol stack to work.
Are the machines getting valid DHCP leases from the router? What are they? Can they ping themselves? Can they ping the router?
> Make sure you have AppleTalk and File Sharing turned on, on bothmachines. That's regular file sharing over AppleTalk, NOT over IP. Sharing over IP is not support on System 7.
I don't think I can do that under 10.3.5 - someone?
Of course you can. Sharing over IP is an option - even in Panther. Read the Help docs provided within Panther. But this is moot if you can't even get basic IP connectivity working.
