Instead of connecting to the server through the Network pane in Finder windows, I tried the Connect to... from Finders Go-menu. There you have to type in the servers IP-adress, thus avoiding using the AppleTalk protocol I believe (you also have to turn on TCP/IP file sharing on the server).
This avoids EtherTalk, not AppleTalk.
AppleTalk is the higher level protocol "suite" that Macs use to do their native networking operations. EtherTalk is an AppleTalk module that enables AppleTalk to run directly over Ethernet. By using the IP address, you are telling the Finder to avoid EtherTalk, and use AppleTalk over TCP/IP over Ethernet.
No AppleTalk involved. This is using AppleShare over TCP/IP. AppleTalk and TCP/IP are two network protocols operating at the same level. While you can encapsulate AppleTalk packets in IP and IP packets in AppleTalk (MacIP) this isn't the case here.
