Doh!  I forgot to give you the PowerPC-side settings.  They are attached 
below.

On the PowerPC side my TCP/IP settings are:

Connetc via: Ethernet

Configure: Manually
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router address: 192.168.0.1  #What should this be for a network of just 
two computers?
                             #Should it be 127.0.0.1?

Name server addr.: 192.168.0.1
                   149.174.211.5  #These last two belong to CompuServe
                   149.174.213.5
