Hi,
Here is the KB article that deals with "Power Mac G4" machines:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50488
Search for the word "duplex".
BTW, this list is *not* for user-level networking questions.
Please see the charter of this list:
http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/macnetworkprog
You probably want to join the Mac-Mgrs list *and* do a detailed
search for just such duplexing problems there:
