Q: networking 0S9 + OS 8.6

I've decided to finally send my old faithful beige G3 tower to a friend who still uses these powerhouse machines. To pull off all the relevant data, I'm trying to network this old computer with my Dual Boot g4 running 0S9.2. I have both machines hooked up via ethernet to an Asante FR1004 router and they both connect broadband to the internet fine. Yet, neither computer appears in either machine's network browser. AppleTalk on both machines registers as <no zones available>. File sharing is on. I used to network all the time between these machines using this same Asante router, although stopped when I put Tiger on a year ago (since Tiger doesn't support networking with OS9 or older). What am I missing/forgetting?


G4 mirror door tower   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   1.25 gHz Dual Processor, Dual Boot
