I have an old IIci with ethernet, running OS 7.5.5, and want to connect
to it from my iBook running 10.3.7 since it is my only way to read old
floppies.

I am sure I have managed to connect to it before, but cannot get it to
work now.

I set Appletalk to use Ethernet on the IIci, and turned on file sharing.
I also turned on Appletalk for Ethernet in the Network control panel of
my iBook. I tried with the two computers directly connected and also
with them connected through my router's ethernet hub. Neither sees the
other.

The TCP/IP control panel for the IIci shows only PPP settings for modem
connection; it does not seem to have any way to select ethernet. But
direct appletalk over ethernet should not need TCP if I remember
correctly.

The Appletalk control panel version is Open Transport 1.1.2.

What am I forgetting to do?

In the TCP/IP control panel you should select Ethernet in the "Connect
via" dropdown menu. If that isn't shown as an option, possibly one or
the Open Transport extensions is missing or damaged.

You also have to select one or more volumes and check the "Share this
item" checkbox in the Get Info dialog.

Is the Ethernet cable actually connected? I think that for "Connect
via Ethernet" to appear in the TCP/IP menu, the machines have to be
cabled together. But, I may well be remembering incorrectly.
