I have four Macs all running Panther. All four systems are connected via a LAN. However, two of the Mac are connected to the LAN via Airport.
The problem I am having is the systems that are connected via Airport can not see the other non- airport systems and visa versa.
The two systems that are connected to the LAN via Ethernet can see each other. But the two systems that are connect to the LAN via airport can not see any of the other systems.
Internet works ok via airport, just not networking.
I did not have this problem with 10.2 (JAG).
Any ideas?

OK. I don't know too much about this, but here we go.
I think that this is how Airport is supposed to work. If you have the ABS set to distribute IP addresses, then the machines connected to the ABS over Airport will be able to see each other but not the 'other side' of the ABS (your computers connected via Ethernet).
You can set the ABS not to distribute IP addresses, but to simply act to pass on an IP address supplied to it - this is done in the Airport Setup program.
If you had ethernet routers in between the other computers and your LAN, rather than putting your computers directly onto the network, you would be in the same situation.
Proviso: this is my simplistic understanding of the situation. I could be wrong, but I hope this helps.
