which way are you connecting, Quadra to G3?, does the G3 have a floppy drive
No floppy drive on the G3
I'm trying to connect either way. Im only interested in transfering text files from one to the other.. I just did the manual set up with a single cable with out the router, So as you suggested in an earlier post I set IP on one to (192.168.5.5 G3) and (192.168.5.6 Quadra) on the other, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on both.
Then, you need to turn On appletalk on both computers. Then turn on file sharing on both (only one is really needed - then the other computer must be the client).
The one thing missing is the Quadrs asks for a gateway IP so I chose the same as the Quadra has, And I had to turn on EtherTalk to get the machines to see each other, Also the AppleTalk is on as is file sharing on both machines
I still get the AFP error
