Hi Guys,

I'm having difficulty recognising an old G4 Dual 1.25 as a client in Remote Desktop.

I've been on the phone to Apple tech and gone through all of the necessary settings yet I'm still having problems.

I can manage the G4 remotely - things like opening applications, shutting down etc., but I can't see it. Whenever I hit Observe, or Control, it tries to find the machine and then tells me there's a failed connection error.

I've repaired disk permissions, created a new user and updated from 10.4.5 - 10.4.8 (something I didn't want to do as I'm in the middle of a gig).

I can see another machine which is a G5, OK - so I'm really confused why I can talk to the G4, but not see it. Any ideas...?

Thanks,

Andy.
