Need Step By Step To Connect iMac G5 with Powerbook Wallstreet G3

I have an iMac G5 Tiger with a dialup connection. I have a Wallstreet OS 9.1 with Airport 2.0.2 and a Wavelan Silver card. I have no base station.
I thought it would be good to network the Wallstreet to the iMac, either to share internet (which would probably drag the speed down) or just to talk to each other.
I am looking for some idiot-proof step-by-step instructions to connect these two machines. I searched this site and didn't find what I'm looking for. Anybody know where I should go?

Can I ask why you didn't just connect them with a Firewire cable and then Boot the MBP (or the iMac) into Target Disc mode by holding down T at start up?
Then it would appear as a Volume on the other Desktop and you can just drag and drop files across as needed.
Sorry, should have explained that the intent was not to copy the imac to the laptop, but to create a permanent ability to transfer files back and forth between each computer. They each reside in different rooms, so cabling each time I want to do a file transfer would be a pita.

  • Connect Imac wirelessly with Xbox 360

    I've got the Wireless Networking Adaptor for the Xbox 360 but I need my Network Settings to connect to my Imac.
    The instruction books says I need the following:
    Workgroup Name
    802.11g/b Network
    Wireless Network Name(SSID)
    802.11a/b Network
    Wireless Network Name(SSID)
    Wireless Security Setting
    Where on earth do I find these?
    Thanks in advance

    Duane:"In the AirPort discussion area it has became clear that this does not work. OS X's Internet Sharing does not properly support the Xbox's attempt to connect to an on-line gaming network."
    Sorry,that is complete rubbish.I eventually worked out all i needed was my WEP key found on router and within 5 minutes I was connected to XBox Live an working like a dream.Also added Connect 360 so I can view my movies.photos and my music transferred wirellessly from my IMAC to my TV via my Xbox.
    FANTASTIC!

  • Connect iMac 24" with a Surfborad 4101

    How do I should connect my new imac 24" with the SURFboard 4101 that I already use with a PC?
    Many thanks for your kind support

    First of all, thanks for your reply.
    Secondly, finally I sort it out, but now I want to make a new design of the network. I explain it:
    1. I have two iMac (20" and 24") CONNECTED WITH AN airport express.
    2. I have set up a VMware Fusion with Windows 2000 profesional inside one of the iMac 24".
    3. The Virtual server use the USB connection to link with the cable modem of Motorola.
    (All of this is because the cable router ethernet port is broken and my wonderful cable supplier is not comming to replace it since many many many months)
    FACTS:
    1. I've been able to connect the Windows virtual machine to internet and the host of the virtual machine.
    PROBLEM
    a, all the rest of the network (connected through the airport express) cannot be connected to Internet but can see the inside network (the other imac)
    Do you have any idea ?
    Many thanks

  • Can i connect imac 24 with macmini

    hello friends. I wont buy macmini new, but have old iMAc24 (2006year). I need now - Can I connect the iMac as the primary monitor, the future MacMini

    The 27-inch iMac and Thunderbolt iMacs can be used as external screens > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    A 24-inch iMac can't be used as an external screen. However, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler to use your iMac as a screen for the Mac mini, but you need another screen to set up the new Mac

  • Need to run disk utility on iMac G4 with OSX 10.3.9/Hardware disk 10.2.7

    I have an iMac G4 currently running with OS X 10.3.9, which was installed on it after it crashed a few years ago. I don't have any retail disks that match OS X 10.3.9, but I have the original manufacturer's hardware disk that came with the computer, which contains Mac OS version 10.2.7.
    My question: In order to run disk utility and repair errors on this computer, do I need to purchase a retail version of the OS X 10.3 disk, or is there some way to run disk utility without the proper OSX disk? I read about checking for possible file system issues using fsck with OS X 10.3 or earlier—is fsck a viable option for me?
    My computer is not having any substantial problems, but I want to avoid any by running Disk Utility now ...
    Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

    Welcome To  Discussions poptartsheart!
    "...OS X 10.3.9, which was installed on it..."
    How was it installed, and by whom?
    You should have been provided a set of the Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, at that time.
    "I read about checking for possible file system issues using fsck with OS X 10.3 or earlier—is fsck a viable option for me?"
    You can run fsck, as instructed in this KB Article Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck, but you really need to have a set of the Panther 10.3.x Full Retail discs.
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, can be purchased, sometimes inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.

  • Can't connect iMac/Leopard with Mac Mini/Tiger and vice versa

    This one has got me tearing my hair out.
    I have an Intel iMac running Leopard and a Mac Mini running Tiger on the same Ethernet network. Both run (adjacent) fixed IP addresses with common subnet mask and gateway. Both access the Internet fine through a single router. But can I share files between the two?
    Neither has firewall turned on while file sharing is enabled. I can see each Mac from the other but when I try connecting first I get 'The server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.' Then on clicking OK I get 'This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.'
    If I try connecting from Finder using Go - Connect To Server I get this error message 'The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://MacMininame" could not be read or written.'
    Although I'm running Leopard on the iMac now, this also used to happen when I ran Tiger too.
    Many thanks - GeoffT.

    Fixed it!
    I have Parallels installed on the iMac and it creates two virtual network adapters (Guest-Host and NAT) in System Preferences/Network. For some reason I'd foolishly contrived to manually configure the Nat adapter to the same IP address as the Mac Mini, hence the point-back to the iMac every time.
    Guess we're all allowed the occasional foul up.....

  • Why is wireless router connectivity is different with Powerbook than iMac?

    I had problems with my 10.2 on the G3 450 iMac (that caused me to go to 10.3 about 2 weeks ago), my trusty old Buffalo router fried its WAN port. I replaced it with a Netgear unit, then a Linksys unit, now I'm back to Buffalo. The ongoing problem is that the laptop has a heck of a time connecting to the internet - while the iMac (via ethernet) has no problems whatsoever. It doess/did this with every manufacturer of routers I tried (since first I thought it may be a Netgear incompatibility issue).
    Strange part about the problems: Only initially does it spend 20+ seconds (close to Safari/Firefox timeout) "looking for" the host. Once it has found it, if you click on any links within the same host, it's lightning-fast. Just the initial callup seems to be inordinately difficult. I was hoping new firmware for the wireless modem, 10.4, the latest Airport update etc would alleviate the situation - no such luck. It USED to work fine on the old wireless router ... Also, it does this "looking for" business whether I have security enabled or not (I usually run 128bit encoding).
    I don't really mind waiting for a few seconds for a site to load, but when you're talking about something like Yahoo or ESPN, all these independent advertising servers have to be contacted to load the page and - you guessed it - it's a 20+ second delay for each one...
    I've rebooted the router and the laptop many times; I doubt it's the cable modem as the Ethernet on the iMac comes from the same router an doesn't have a problem at all. Any chance it's a setting of some sort in the preferneces panels?
    The problem appeared initially with the Netgear router. The whole reason I went back to Buffalo is that I never had any issues in the 4 years I owned the previous one (until the WAN port went out). I also tried a Linksys router but admittedly didn't spend a lot of time with it as the delay problem appeared right from the start.
    As far as 3rd party hardware is concerned, I wouldn't mind just getting an Apple Airport station at this time, but really don't want to spend the $ if it's an issue with either the laptop or its Airport card. I guess I could get one here at the local Apple store and bring it back if it doesn't work any differently (at least then I'd know it's either a laptop or a Comcast Cable-issue...).
    System setup:
    Desktop: G3 "Graphite" iMac / slot-loading / 400Mhz / 640MB RAM / 10.3.9
    Laptop: 15" G4 Aluninium Powerbook / 1.25Ghz / 1GB RAM / 10.4.6
    Wireless: Buffalo AirStation Turbo G WHR-HP-G54 (wireless to laptop / ethernet to iMac).
    Powerbook 15/1.25GHz/1GBRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It sounds as though you're having a problem with DNS lookups. Try this, type into Terminal (Applications > Utilities)…
    sudo lookupd -flushcache
    It will subsequently ask you for your administrator password. Type it in and then wait for the prompt to return. Do not do anything before then. Now, restart and see if things are any better.

  • Problems with graphics and Internet connection - iMac 2011 with Lion

    First: sorry about my english... It is terrible! lol
    I have an 2011 iMac, purchased in June 2011 in the USA. I brought the iMac to Brazil.
    Sometimes when I turn on my iMac, the graphics are horrible and can not connect to the Internet. When this happens, I have to restart the Lion.
    Apple introduced the "iMac FW Graphic Update 3.0". The information says clearly that supports Brazilian Portuguese. Butwhen I install, an error appears: "this software is not compatible with your system".
    My Lion is in Brazilian Portuguese. Why it is not compatible? How do I install it? How can I solve this problem?
    Note: The technical assistance of Apple changed the HD, according to recall made ​​by Apple through the site. The HD is new.
    Thank you very much!

    Anybody? I'm buying a new network card simply but I'm not sure that it is the network card that is causing the network problems I'm experiencing.
    Regards

  • Connecting to internet with PowerBook via bluetooth phone

    I have bluetooth in my PowerBook and I want to be able to use a bluetooth phone to connect to the internet when I am away from home. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good bluetooth phone to use or any suggestions? I have Verizon as my service provider.

    Hello
    I haven't tried this, but found this on the net, which requires some additional scripts for the Mac for the Motorola Razr phone.

  • Connecting a HP3497A with a NI PCI GPIB card.

    Hello, I would like to be able to connect the above mentioned HP product with a NI PCI GPIB card. As I have no prior experience with this equipment, I wanted to know what basic important steps I would have to take to achieve this?

    Mbugua,
    On the hardware end you'll need a GPIB cable to connect the card with your instrument. On the software side, you'll need the NI-488.2 driver. Please follow this link to download the proper driver version for your OS. I highly recommend that you use LabVIEW 7.0 to communicate with the instrument. If you prefer text-based programming LabWindows/CVI 7.0 would be a great choice. You can check out www.ni.com/idnet to download a library of functions to even further ease communication with t
    he HP3497A (currently there is a download designed for CVI).
    There are a great deal of manuals available online. Please navigate to www.ni.com and choose "support" to search through them as well as our Knowledge Base.
    Please follow the following procedure of installation:
    1) Install LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI (or both)
    2) Install NI-488.2 (hardware driver for the PCI-GPIB)
    3) Insert the PCI-GPIB into your computer

  • Steps needed or any guidance to connect SAP with DB2,

    Hi Experts,
    I need detailed steps to connect SAP with DB2 server. If any standard document or any one is having any docs / hints can provide , it would be a great help to me.

    Hello Mamata,
    If your current ECC 6.0 is also on DB2/400, you can use DBCO - outlined in the following blog.
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2006/08/31/configure-dbco-database-multiconnect-on-ibm-i5iseries
    If the retail business can be moved to SAP solution, plain SAP RFC just works fine. If not, you can install a SAP gateway instance on DB2.
    There are many options. It could be hard to identify the best choice without a detailed review/analysis.
    Best regards,
    Victor
