ARD 3.2 and ARD 1.2 Mac OS 9.22

Question

Hi I have got an Intel iMac running ARD 3.2 and want to remote control an old iMac G3 running Mac OS 9.22 and ARD 1.2. It recognises the G3 and when I try to authenticate it says the password is invalid when it should work. Is it just not possible to connect the two or is there some other way of controlling my G3 from my intel iMac?

It sounds so complicated. I'll try it later and let you know how it went.
Dealing with networks from outside (whether from the Internet or dealing with wireless) often is indeed complicated. If you are indeed trying to connect to this system from the Internet (and hence from some other location and having to connect through a router), take a look at this web page:

It may help.
If I'd posted a new topic, someone would've told me I should've searched for previous threads/posts before I posted!
Suggesting that you search for previous posts doesn't mean that you have to, or should, tag your question onto another thread. You're free to start a new topic, and in fact it's recommended that you do so rather than tagging a new issue/question onto another poster's topic. What people mean by such recommendations is that you try and see if the question has already been addressed before you post. In probably the vast majority of the issues that arise, the subject has already been addressed, so if you can find a previous thread, you save yourself time waiting for an answer and others from going over the same ground yet again. It's not always possible - sometime your issue is different, and sometimes it's just not easy to find previous posts - but it's always worth trying (and if you say you tried when you do post, it should keep people off your back). In any case, posting to a thread that's so old (as this one is) often won't get your post seen at all, and we don't want your issue to go unaddressed just because no one sees it.
Regards.
