Hi Everyone,

I have a G4 iMac with OS 10.2.6 and a clamshell iBook with OS 9.2.

They are joined via an ethernet cable and I can see the iBook and transfer files to and fro but I cannot see the iMac from the iBook

I want to connect to the internet with my iMac and share the connection via ethernet to my iBook.

Any ideas on how to do this???

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

BTW, I would put OSX on the iBook but for the 3 gig drive and 96mb ram being too limiting to do so.

you need to tell us what kind of 'net connection you have--dialup, dsl, cable.

Only Dialup at present I'm afraid.

when you want to share your connection, go to the System Preferences and open Sharing. In the right-most tab (Internet), you can hit the Start button and it should work.
this is assuming that in the Network panel of System Preferences, your modem is listed above your Built-in Ethernet in the "Network Port Configurations" (accessible from the menu preceeded by the word "Show:").
you'll have to hit that button after each shutdown/restart of the imac.
your ibook will have to be set to use built-in ethernet for it's connection (in the tcp/ip control panel) and to use DHCP to obtain an address (your imac will be the dhcp server once you hit that button).
