I want to connect my 520 to my newer machines via ethernet to
transfer files. I have a 520 with a PPC upgrade board, running
system 7.5.5. I own a transceiver, but I've never used it. I have
MACTCP 2.0.6. in the Chooser, I have a choice of LocalTalk,
Ethernet, or AOL.

Do I have the proper control panels to do this. Do I need Open
Transport? I don't think it is available in 7.5.5. I don't see
anything similar in the control panels.
Open Transport is certainly available for 7.5.5, but you'll have to
download it from Apple. At the same time get the latest Appleshare
version for your system, which has the Appleshare over IP stuff you
need. (which needs Open Transport to work)
Once those are installed set up tcp/ip to get an IP address
automatically, connect the transceiver to the Mac, the ethernet from
the router to the transceiver and you should get a IP address. In
7.5.5 I think you'll need to manually enter the router IP address,
which is the address of your router, I think that's the DNS address,
too. I forget; DHCP behavior changed between 7.5-8-9 and I forget
where exactly. With 8.1 on my 540C all I need to do is select DHCP.
Now fire up Chooser, click on Appleshare, and if you don't see the
computers in the list, click on Server IP address, enter the IP
address of your OS X macs, and you're golden.

With System 7.5.5 you need AppleShare Client version 3.7.4, if you
move up to OS8 you'll need version 3.8. Both are available from Apple
at the older software page. You might as well make sure you have the
latest Open Transport for that system, version 1.1.2. You may have to
install 1.1.1 first, then upgrade to 1.1.2.

System 7 should pick up an IP address automatically, my SE/30 does
and my 540c did when it was running 7.5.5. I wrote notes a couple of
days ago about file sharing between older OS and Tiger, check them if
that's what you are running. Otherwise AppleTalk will work both ways
and you'll be fine.
