Turns out I never was able to enable file sharing on the 7100, but it didn't matter. The big problem of "connection to server was unexpectedly broken" was fixed by reinstalling the system, and possibly by setting the IP addresses of each computer manually. When I did those things, and turned on appletalk on the 7100, and selected the ibook from the list, I was able to get the appleshare icon to appear on the 7100 desktop with the Hard disk of the ibook.
This worked without upgrading any software on the 7100. I only had the original system 8.1 components.

Well, I'm glad someone is getting networking to work, because after many many hours of trying, I've come up with zilch. The 7100 (OS8.1) lists the ibook(OS10.4) in chooser, but when you try to select it, it gives the error message "connection unexpectedly broken" and does not connect. The ibook shows the 7100 in the network file area, but when you highlight it and click on the connect button, it gives the message that AFP is messed up and does not connect.I wonder if it would be easier to get a zip drive that would connect to the ibook USB and read the zip disks from the SCSI drive on the 7100, or to find an adapter for my external SCSI hard drive from the 7100 so that it could be used with the ibook? Perhaps it would be easier to install an earlier OS on the ibook that supports appleshare.Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

All this talk of networking made me suspect that I should be able toinitiate a network from my 6100 (still running OS 7.6.1!) to my wife's eMac (under Panther 10.3.9). Formerly I could initiate a network connectiononly from the eMac. Thanks to Dan's suggestion, I can now initiatenetworking from either machine. This valuable new capability was providedby installing AppleShare Client 3.8 (referred to in the link that Dan provided). I did hit a temporary snag: my 6100 under OS 7.6.1 was running OpenTransport 1.1.1, but the ReadMe that accompanies AppleShare Client warnedthat I had to upgrade to 1.1.2 or later. I searched Apple's websitefruitlessly for a separate download of _any_ version of Open Transport.It seems that Open Transport is available only on Mac OS installation CDs or images, and the version included with my OS 7.6 CDs and the 7.6.1 Update is O.T. 1.1.1. Some later versions of Open Transport are 1.2 (included, I think, with Mac OS 8.0) and 1.3 (included in Mac OS 8.1). Since I have the install images for Mac OS 8.1 on hand, I upgraded Open Transport to version1.3.So I am now running OS 7.6.1 successfully with Open Transport 1.3. I still have no idea of how a person could obtain O.T. 1.1.2 if that were _really_needed.
