Panther has two different ways of connecting - some things just don't show up in the network pane.
See Apple document 107804 for more info on the two ways of connecting (go to and network). I can't tell why things show up or not, some things are different each time.
And every so often stuff that does show up just vanishes. Most annoying. It's as if the Network pane is supposed to alias to the /var/automount/Netowork folder but it's not keeping contact.
FWIW, I can never connect to anything running OS9, 8 or 7 from an X machine. I can connect up, but not down.
Neither can I. I think 10.3 ceased support for Legacy File Sharing.
If you can connect up from OS 7 and 8 I'd like to know how you do it. I have 3 legacy machines I use regularly, 2 run 8.1 (840av and a 7100/80) and one runs 7.1 (IIci). I upgraded the IIci to the OT/Appleshare version from 8.1 so they are essentilly all the same. I can only connect as 'Guest' on any of them because my OS X passwords are longer than 8 chars. In previous OS X versions (10.0, .1 and .2) i was able to get away with just the first 8 chars of my OS X password but in 10.3 it seems it no longer accepts that. 9.1 seems fine and can handle long passwords.
Any ideas?
