    A Plus, a Farallon Etherwave and internet...

    Tiger explicitly prevents you registering either IPADDRESS or IPGATEWAY AppleTalk names using NBP. So no MacIP gateway on Tiger upwards.

    MPW is free on the classic Mac. MacOSX has X-Code for free, and gcc/g++ etc.

    extracing data from IMG files

    If the title says it all then we have very little to go on, some clues might help. It's one of those information rich questions such as "What am I holding behind my back?" What platform, archtecture, operating system, format?

    Mac HD file transferring

    Count the pins on the SCSI drive. There should be 50 ( 2 x 25 ). Anything which handles 50pin SCSI should be able to read it. Even 68pin and 80pin can work with $5 adapters. Your main problem will be decoding HFS.

    Convert JPG or PNG to MacPaint

    If you can copy the image to the clipboard as a PICT, I would have thought that MacPaint would paste it in. Perhaps SuperPaint? If you ever wondered why MacPaint has a 50% grey desktop no matter what you do, it's because the author thought he knew better than the user about desktops.

    G4 and G3 networking

    As long as they like being close. :) I didn't event get round to mentioning that "router" rhymes with "hooter", because it routes packets. How do you pronounce "Route 66"?

    G4 and G3 networking

    You need a hub or a cross-over cable rather than a standard drop-cable. A hub also makes things simpler because you can see the flashing lights. Some devices won't work with cross-overs because they need the other party to to the link-active.

    MachTen

    It's built the wrong way up. A robust OS ontop of a fragile one. A/UX had a fragile one (Mac OS) ontop of a robust one (UNIX).

    Power Book g3, (The one that wont run X)

    You could return it to the bin, after appropriate rendition of "The Last Post". Does it have an external SCSI connector, and do you have an external SCSI CD-ROM and appropriate connector?

    G4 and G3 networking

    Connect both boxes to a single hub using the drop cables, make sure the hub is powered up. AppleTalk network should work out of the box. So to TCP/IP, DHCP won't work without a DHCP server to allocate the IP addresses, so you need to decide on a static subnet (eg 192.168.1.x with netmask...
