Q: Can't network OSX 10.5.8 to OS 8 machine
I recently upgraded my Power PC G5 from Panther to Leopard 10.5.8 and I can no longer network to my old computer running OS 8. I have the computers connected via an Ethernet hub. With Panther, the G5 recognized the OS 8 machine on the network. But with Leopard 10.5.8, when I try to "connect to server" the OS machine is not available as an option on the network. On the older machine, I have the TCP/IP settings as: Connect via Ethernet, Configure using DHCP server. The G5 is connected to the Ethernet, and also configured using DHCP. These settings worked when I was on Panther. Do I have to change something to get 10.5.8 to find the OS8 machine on the network?
Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

I think this problem may not be related to AppleTalk File Sharing.
Make sure that in
System Preferences > Network > (your primary Interface) > AppleTalk pane ...
That the AppleTalk option is enabled for that interface.
