It may be that OS 8.6 can not network with OS 10.2.
That isn't it, I think. I just went back to your first post: you're doing this over 802.11b, right?
You say you are getting a password, so this first bit is a bit of a digression, but just in case:
======
The thing is, classic ethertalk (appletalk over ethernet, the kind we know from 7.1 thru 8.6 or whenever) is NOT bridged from wireless to wired sides of many (most) 802.11b routers. Linksys IIRC never did do it, Netgear had some routers that would (MR314 will), newer ones may not. So, connecting to the OS X machine will never happen via ethertalk in that situation, no matter what you turn on on the OS X box. The protocol is not making it across the router. (I'm not sure OS X can even serve via classic appletalk, but only AppleshareIP- I've never checked the latter).
AppleshareIP, which is the newer appletalk-over-TCP-protocol (kinda old now actually), WILL get routed across anything since it's carried on a regular TCP/IP packet.
I'm a little fuzzy on when AppleshareIP came out, but I'm pretty sure it's client is supported in 8.6 for connecting to servers, and in 9.1 they built in both server and client features. It's in OS X for sure.
So, supposedly, if you have all the sharing turned on on your OS X machine, and you connect to it via the "server ip" connection in the chooser of the 8.6 1400 (typing in the numberic IP not a machine name unless you have a DNS running) , you should be golden.
======
So, connecting you need to give a username and a password; does it ID the server properly? This is a real Appleshare connection prompt that mentions the server name, etc? If so, then the above doesn't apply to you :) The needed user and password will be the same user name on the OS X box that you entered when you set it up, the same user and password that you use for example when you run Software Update on the G4 and Apple has new softwore for you to install. Do you have that password?
It all should work if you are connecting via AppleshareIP, using the "serverIP" feature of the chooser. I think that came out in 8.6...
HTH, keep thinking about what you have set up, it should work.
