(in response to my query about Panther filesharing turning itself off, and having to be restarted every time I want to backup from one computer to the other)
I have heard that that can happen if the network connection isn't active at start up. Either because there is no connection at all or because it takes too long for the connection to be active. What is your network configuration (wired / wireless, hub / switch and whatever else).
That's probably the difficulty, but I had the same configuration (a crossover ethernet cable, usually attached only when needed) on the same machines (and others previously) in OS 9.2 (and 8.6), and filesharing stayed on regardless. Fortunately it's nothing but a minor nuisance, but all the same annoying when something that worked ceases to work after an upgrade.
