Powerbook G3 firewire/USB card in PCI slot

I have just purchased a HP 2-port combo USB 2.0 FireWire Cardbus ( this is a PCI card to use firewire and USB and fits into the pci slot). Each time I connect a hard drive using either the USB or the firewire, the computer does not see the connection. I thought I would be able to download iCab web browser from my G4 so I could use this antique to browse the web; of course, I was also hoping that I could use a USB printer, and store info on an firewire drive.

Powerbook G3, Mac OS 9.2.x, 256mb ram; and 233 mhz processor

I did what you suggested, and still no response. I tried connecting one computer to the other and following Carlson's suggestions for connection, but each computer did not see the other. I am wondering if the ethernet in the Wallstreet is defective.
