Trying to transfer files via ethernet cable from a G3 to a G4. Have turned on file sharing for both computers but the G3 doesn't show up. Any assistance appreciated.

Doesn't change anything. All G4 based Apple products have network cards that support auto MDI-X.

Except one of them is a G3.
Crossover would be good. Or a hub or switch.
Could you use a firewire cable or is this a regular requirement?

You only need one end to support auto MDI-X for a "normal" ethernet cable to work.

Yes, any cable will do if one Mac autosenses (the G4)
Are they both running OS9 or is one (or both running OSX?)
Is it a Beige G3?
So a little more info needed from you . . . don't want to cover every eventuality when it's not needed . . .

Older computer is beige G3 running 10. 2. Don't know what is meant by crossover cable; what I have is a network cable; connected one end to hub>G4; the other hub>G3, then tried changing the sequence. Auto MDI-X is something I haven't run into before. There is one ethernet connection per computer - perhaps I need a different cable or connector. I (blush) haven't gotten up to speed on Firewire; G4 has Firewire PCI. Thanks.
