Here's what's supposed to happen. When you enter the afp://your.machine.address and hit return, a dialog box will appear asking for your user name and password. These are the same name and password you use to log into the machine when you are sitting in front of it. If the name and password are accepted, another box pops up giving you a choice of volumes to mount. Choose one or more of these. After they're mounted, they'll appear on your desktop as thought they're local hard drives. You can move files and double-click things just as you can when you're sitting in front of the remote machine. At what point did the process fail? Is there a firewall machine between you and the remote machine? You can check to see if port 548 is open with telnet. Open a terminal window and type something like the following. (Frodo> is my prompt; don't type it!) Frodo> telnet llarson.math.louisville.edu 548 Trying 136.165.6.167... Connected to llarson.math.louisville.edu. Escape character is '^]' If you get an answer similar to mine, then your port is open for business. If there's no answer, then you there's either a firewall in the way, or your Appleshare/IP isn't turned on. If there's no answer from telnet, ping the remote machine? (Go to the Network Utility or terminal to do this.) If you get no response from a ping, then there's likely a firewall in the way. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 27.
