Can't connect from OS 10.4.7 to G4 running MacOS 9.2.2

Greetings

Since upgrading from Panther to Tiger, I can no longer connect to a G4
running OS 9.2.2. I get a message saying

Connection failed
This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You
cannot connect to it. OK

I had a look on Apple support, and I couldn't find a newer version of the OS
9 software to solve the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dave Balderstone...
Make sure the OS 9 box is using Appletalk over TCP/IP.

Murray Anderson...
That box is greyed out...

Here, I have two Blue & Whites running OS X, and a collection of three
older machines running OS 9.2.2 and 9.0.4.

I can connect from either B&W to one of the others just fine, but no
matter what I've tried -- including cloning the OS from the one that
works -- has allowed me to connect to the other two. I can see them just
fine on the network (one of them is my firewall/router), but all I ever
get is that "incompatible" message. I know about the "connect via IP"
procedure; it doesn't help.
