Yep. I'd forgotten to check but that but it was all in place anyway.

Interesting that the x86 box seems to talk appletalk with options for
clear test or encrypted passwords. The G4 has encrypted only.

Just for grins I decided to put the G4 and the iMac on a switch by
themselves. In doing so I suddenly had problems getting a connection
with a cable that I knew should be good. I replaced the little 8 port
switch I was testing the whole thing on and now it's all working fine -
even when I put the whole network back together as I originally had it
(except for the switch). That little Linksys switch apparently was
flakey. I don't understand why the weird symptom with the name though.
Strange.

Thanks to everyone!
