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.

What's gone is seeing System 7 or 8 with OSX. You can still see OSX
from System 7 or 8.
Alternate that works for me with my 540c and iMac G4 and TiBook and
Pismo:
Create a new user on the G4. I have users for all my computer names.
Make sure that you change permissions on the Drop Box so that anyone
(you) can put files in there. Maybe make an alias of it on your desktop.
Find out the IP address of the G4 (System Preferences/Network/TCP-IP)
On the 520c, open Chooser. Use the Connect via IP button and type in
the IP address of the G4. In the connection box, connect as whatever
new user and password you just created. Now you'll be able to see the
Drop Box in that user's Home folder. Open that and you're sharing files.
It's an extra step to copy a file into the Drop Box, but that's the
free way of doing things. Shareway IP just cut their price in about
half when they learned that OSX could no longer connect via AFP/AT,
expecting a lot of new customers from the LEM-users out there.
