vintage iMac will not connect to network

Thanks, BDAqua, for the link - an interesting product. In order to get it over to the Snowball, i guess I would download to my MBP, into a usb thumb drive and load it into the iMac. I was reading the blog for the TenFourFox users and they seem to be a VERY advanced bunch of computer nerds! I might get up the nerve to ask a question some day...... Tnx, bob.c

Thanks D.I., that was my fear when I tried to connect. I do have a sort-of local network: two MBP's, one more recent iMac, two iPads, three iPhones, all in my iCloud account. Is there a way to add the Snowball to the network, so that a scan on it can be accessed by the MBP? I haven't looked thru the Apple Support yet so I'll dive in there too.

Could the inability to connect to the internet have something to do with the lack of wi-fi capability? I have been trying to connect via an ethernet cable to the Nighthawk router's dedicated inputs......no joy.

Thanks again! bob.c

That's my new direction. i don't need an internet connection on the old machine, just a way to connect to the other Macs. Gotta read up on creating that network. Thanks!!
