You need to connect via IP address, Appletalk was dropped in 10.4.
You'll need (iirc) Appleshare client 3.7 or better on the 520. This
means you have to initiate the connection from the 520c and know
the IP address of the iMac.
You can get Shareway IP from Open Door networks, but that's
expensive. This is what Apple bundled with OS 9 to get IP file
sharing. <http://www.opendoor.com/shareway/>
So, do I need a router or something to do this? I've been doing it
with just a crossover cable, looks like I may have to finally spring
for a router to get the job done. Someone else suggested using FTP
to do it, but I have no idea how to set my 520c up for a broadband
connection.
Also, where do I look to see what version Appleshare I have on the
520? And how would I upgrade that? I'm not going to spring for any
expensive programs to get this to work, since I don't intend on
spending any money on this old clunker. Just trying to beat it into
usage.
This issue has nothing to do with routing. The cross-over cable is
just fine. Thru it, you can provid perfectly usable connectivity via
AppleTalk and TCP/IP.
This problem is with the higher-level protocol you're using to do the
file sharing.
Your 520c currently only knows how to share files via AFP/AT.
The Mac running Tiger no longer speaks AFP/AT. It knows only AFP/IP
or FTP or SMB.
To add AFP/IP to the 520c, you need to either upgrade the OS or add a
(software) $product such as Shareway IP (a commercial version of
AFP/IP).
If you don't want to upgrade the 520c, the easiest solution would
probably be to turn on the ftp server in Tiger (OS X's Help mechanism
has how-to info) then use an FTP client such as Anarchie or Fetch on
the 520c.
