In OS 9 locate the File Sharing Control Panel Click the left Tab, this takes you to the identity panel. You have 3 places to put information. On the top, key in "My Net" with out the quotes On the middle, key nothing, leave blank On the bottom, key in the name of the computer. Ie, 6320 Do the same in the PowerBook. The secret is to have that top line of information the same. Lastly, be sure your Appletalk is on and set to the correct port. Either traditional Printer Port, or Ethernet Port, depending on your setup. Give this a try and let us know the results.
