Hi Guys
This is my first post so please be kind, The problem I have is that I am trying to network my 2 G4's running 9.2,2 together. Both machines are on ethernet and I am using a switch and both ports indicate that they are connected by the lights. I make Apple talk active and then go to file share and press the start button. The icon flashes for a time and after a few minutes the machine freezes. I have press the restart button and when restart happens the file share icon still flashes and I have to cancell this otherwise the machine keeps crashing.I have deleted the Appleshare PDS hidden file and I still cant get File sharing to start.
Hoping that someone can help
