Ward, Thanks for the suggestions (some time ago. I am just getting around to this again!). I have turned on File Sharing in the iMac and designated the hard disk to share. It can be seen in Chooser from any of the other computers on the network. I just can't figure out what it means when I select it in either OS 9 computer, Chooser accepts it, then it asks for user name and password which I enter correctly. Immediately I get a message saying that" the connection has been unexpectedly broken. "The password is right. Obviously Appletalk is working or I couldn't get that far.... I still can't see any of the other computers from the iMac. I guess I am looking in the right place. servers on the preferences?
