Bonjour to everyone! I have my old G3/233 OS 9 and my new-old G4/450DP OS X Panther. I want to share files between two of them, I tried to connect thru the ethernet with the ethernet cable but they don't see each other. Later I discovered that a special crossover cable is needed, but then I would have to connect and disconnect computers all the time cause I want to read macmusic.org sometimes. If I buy a hub do I still need this crossover cable or it will work with the normal ones? Or will it be a good idea if both computers share one external HD as a file server? Sorry for stupid questions - looks simple but I couldn't find right answers on the net, TIA
