Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) does not support AFP/AT - Apple Filing Protocol

Mac OS 8.1 only supports AFP/AT. It does not support AFP/IP.
The computers "see" each other because Tiger still supports the other
AppleTalk services (printer, etc). But they cannot open an AFP
connection because of the above.
The updated network browser on the older Mac supports AFP/IP, so it
should let you connect TO the iBook.

Thanks Dan for the help. I also looked at the apple knowledge base
and found something similar:
"As a solution, enable the TCP/IP protocol on the AFP server if it
offers this option. If no TCP/IP option is available, connect to the
Tiger computer from the computer that is the AppleTalk-only AFP
server (instead of trying to connect from the Tiger computer to
connect to the older computer). This method works because AppleShare
client software on the older computer can connect to a Tiger computer
over TCP/IP, even if it can't offer service over TCP/IP."
"This may also affect third-party AFP server products. Be aware that
some affected AFP servers have a TCP/IP option, but others don't."
"Some AFP services that do not have a TCP/IP option include Personal
File Sharing in Mac OS 8.6 and earlier, and the AppleShare server
suite. Some AFP services that do have a TCP/IP option include Mac OS
9 File Sharing, and the AppleShare IP server suite."
So, I'm assuming the 'updated browser' that Dan mentioned is this
'Appleshare IP server suite', but there seems to be no place to
download it from apple's web site--they only have updaters for those
with previous versions of IP. They do mention places to get
appleshare IP without updates, but those links are dead. Anyone know
where to download appleshare IP for free or very cheap? Can't find
it a LEM either. Do you think this will enable the 2 computers to
share files?
Thanks, Guy
