Question 1: If you are File Sharing, do you need to be? If not, turn File Sharing off, and you won't have any problems with the ShareWay IP Personal Bgnd Extension. If Yes, continue.
Question 2: If you do need to File Sharing on, do you need clients to connect via TCP/IP? If not, uncheck the related box in the File Sharing Control Panel. If Yes, continue. Question 3: Are you using OS 9.0 - 9.0.4? If so, upgrade to 9.1 I've found that both File Sharing and (especially) TCP/IP File Sharing can be a bit buggy under those OS revisions.
