P.S. i tried a PING from my 9600 and it doesn't work that way around either. Could I hav excluded the IP somehow by accident? Maybe Firewalled it? I dunno! If anyone knows where BRICKHOUSE or OS X 10.3 keeps a list of trusted clients or similar let me know.
I'd say that was your problem. The fact that you can SMB to other machines means that your basic networking is working.
OS X's firewall is pretty brain-dead, in that it's default setting is to exclude *everything* on your local net from going out, as well as excluding outside stuff from coming in. The latter is what you want, the former I can not envision a scenario where I would want that.
I've tried a couple of times to use OS X's firewall, but I always get frustrated and give up. XP's is much easier to setup and use, and it's default setting is actually what you want.
I'd say you have excluded the G3's IP address somehow/somewhere. If OS X's firewall setup wasn't so primitive, things like this wouldn't be an issue.
