Networking Panther VS Jaguar

[Snarf!]

I am running Panther on my G4 iBook, and a friend is running Jaguar on his G412" Powerbook 867Mhz. I used to have a G3 iBook and we coul easily connect our 2 computers with a network cable. But now with my new computer, i can`t connect to him. I can however connect to my 2 roommates, whom are both using win xp... what`s the deal with that?

It might help if you told us how your WinXP computers and your Macs were configured.
