I recently picked up a pair of G4 eMacs for $75 a pop. The downfall? Neither had wireless. So one was close enough it went to the router and the other I shared my internet from my iMac to it. Now I tried Bonjour + iChat and it worked well with the iMac, and the iMac worked well with the rest of the network. Unfortunately the eMac couldnt communicate with the rest of the network. Is there a way around this? Can I get the eMac with the rest of the network?

Thanks
Kevin

Your network may be getting confused with similar bonjour messaging names if you are logged in with the same credentials on each machine... try a different naming convention and restart iChat on all the machines... maybe that'll work!
