I do a lot of work on my G4, system 9.2.2
And for years, I used file sharing to transfer PDFs to my System 26 mac....
But I year ago, it ceased to work.
I was using internet explorer, and it doesn't seem to actuallyy connect to the internet, though it will connect to my printer's home page ( 2007 HP5100 that prints on 11 X 17, what a great investment that thing has been). Got an email from some kind soul here who suggested that classiilla would work. SO I located it, copied it to a thumb drive and then took the thumb drive to my G4. I could never get it to connect it to anything.I would ask the guy who suggested it, but: I i could never find his email, which Ive searched for many times...it's hard, was maybe in February and without knowing his name or the title of the post, etc, it's been nt found.
I never thanked him for trying to help.

Hi dkatz,
Seems like there's actually multiple questions in here. Is one of them how to get file sharing working between your modern Mac and your G4 running Mac OS 9?
If so, you may consider installing netatalk on the modern Mac:
