What OS is running on each machine? >One thing to look at it Apple's support of AppleTalk over ethernet. >It was permanently removed in all OS neXt versions after 10.3.9. You're in the right track -- AFP/AT vs AFP/IP, but your information is incorrect. Also, the operating system is called Mac OS X (pronounced mac ohhh esss TEN, not "next"). AppleTalk works just fine in Tiger. Apple only removed support for AFP/AT in Tiger. The rest of AppleTalk (transport, routing, printing, etc) is intact. In Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), Apple killed off the rest of AppleTalk - including the printer support. >To communicate with OS 10.4.0 and above you must use AppleTalk over >internet protocol (IP). No, he must use AFP/IP. AFP is NOT AppleTalk. AppleTalk is a lower level transport protocol, like IP. It is never layered over IP. Think ford vs chevy, not ford vs car seat. The the protocol that does the file serving is called "Apple Filing Protocol" (AFP). In versions of Mac OS prior to Tiger, it can be used over either AppleTalk (afp/at) or IP (afp/ip). In Tiger and later it can only be used over IP. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
