Well, it's morning now, at least. I tried it, but could not figure out
how to make the necessary changes, apparently, since it didn't work for
me. Drat!

Only at moments like this. The rest of the time I feel pretty fortunate

THAT's what it is! They let me get a lot of stuff I wanted saved but
seldom needed off the G4 so I wouldn't crash it as often multi-tasking

Are you certain that the option to enable file sharing clients to
connect over TCP/IP is enabled (checked) on the G4's File Sharing
Control Panel? I have no problem connecting from my intel iMac running
10.6.3 to my PPC4400 running Mc OS 9.1 However, I cannot connect from
the PPC4400 to the iMac.

I'm not at all sure, to be honest. It used to work both ways as long as
I didn't try to move too much at once.

Trying again. It's checked now, but I still have no communication.
There must be a step I'm missing somewhere. Possibly because the only
way I know to initiate the contact is from the G4. I've tried changing
"file sharing" on the Intel laptop, but that has no effect either.
