I'm trying to copy some files off of my old Quadra 700 to a Mac Mini and am
stuck. I have the Quadra running System 7.1 and MacTCP 2.0.5. It has an
AAUI-to-Ethernet transceiver connected to a crossover Ethernet cable that's
connected at the other end to my Mini. It also has a working CD-ROM drive.

I read the networking guide at applefool.com/se30 and did my best to follow
its instructions. I played around with the Control Panel / Network, MacTCP,
File Sharing, etc. and thought I had succeeded in sharing the Quadra's
hard-drive but my Mini sees nothing. But I don't really know what I'm doing
and, to be specific, I don't know what to do on Mac Mini side other than
stare at a Finder window and hope a server icon magically appears. On the
Mini I tried pinging the IP address that I had specified in MacTCP on the
Quadra and it timed out.

This has probably been done a hundred times so if someons could point me to
the right website page I would be immensely grateful.

THANKS!
