HOW DO I PASS FILES VIA ETHERNET FROM THE 0S9 Powerbook to the Mac Pro running OS 10.5.6?
Should be able to connect that OS9 machine to your router, or if you only have those two machines, a crossover ethernet cable will allow both to be connected direct. (Gigabit Ethernet automatically senses what is being connected and you can use standard CAT 5 cables, so you could try that if you have Gigabit ethernet)
In your OS9 machine, go to under the
Apple to the
Chooser and turn on the
Apple Talk button. (Make sure
Apple Talk is also active in your OSX machine). Next, in your OS9 machine, under the
Apple, go to
Network Browser. A window comes up, and the first graphic button in the string will let you open up a small pull down menu that allows you to select
Connect to Server. Then enter the IP address of your OSX machine, and it should connect and mount your OSX volume on your OS9 desktop just like a normal OSX to OSX network connection.
Also, I suggest posting that to the Apple Discussions:
