The speed negoitiation on iMacs is crap (TM).

I have a 500Mhz one and in 9.2.2 its 10 half and in 10.3 its 100 half, 
those are my only options....full duplex does not work, neither does 
speed negoitiation......so I have a hub for when I want 9.2 and a 100 
switch when I want 10.3 and swap the cable as neither will work on the 
others network hardware! ffs and this is a good OS?

So your connection issue is almost certainly that of speed followed by 
duplex mode. You could transfer to the pc from 9.2 then from the pc to 
10.4.......

A Firewire network I think needs ethernet over firewire....I dont know 
if 9.2.2 will do that I assume 10.x will.
