Are all but the last numbers of the IPs on both the same?

Like 192.164.1.3 & 192.168.1.4 ?

Did you setup Screen Sharing on the G5 in Sharing Prefs?

So, if you in Finder>Go menu>Connect to Server & put the IP of the G5 in, like...

vnc://192.168.1.61

What exactly happens?

In Sys Prefs>Sharing on the G5, try checking Remote Apple Events & Remote Management, & in this last one Computer Settings.

Did you set a password for others to control the screen?

Does File Sharing or Web Sharing work?

Well, there's a problem neither of us are seeing... I'm mulling it, but here I have no problem with iMac running 10.6 through 10.9 doing ALL sharing either way to an eMac running 10.4.11 or 10.5.8

Can you connect the other way?
