High all! When I got my DSL modem I figured it was time to network my machines so I got an old Apple Ethernet Mini-Hub. (Plugs into the AAUI on my 7100 and has 4 RJ45 receptacles.) and plugged the DSL modem into it. Then I plugged my 6400 in to it and then my kids IIci.
Everything worked fine, I could get each machine to mount on each machine and it was cool. All three machines could be online at the same time and we could transfer files back and fourth, etc.. Then I decided it was time to play with Timbuktu�........... Installed Timbuktu Pro� on each machine and everything worked great! I could observe, control, chat, etc.. It was cool. But now I can't connect any machine to any other. I can still send files back and forth but can't use my printers anymore, except on the machine that it's connected to. Bummer. So I un-installed Timbuktu�, searched for any leftover extensions, preferences, etc. and re-started all the machines. Still couldn't connect anything. Re did the un-install, searched for invisible files, re-built the desktops and even zapped the PRam. Still can't network. :-( Assuming I get the appletalk going again, is there any way to use both appletalk AND Timbuktu�? And if I can't do that is there some way to still share the printers? (I know, I can just use Timbuktu� and send whatever needs printing to whichever machine has the printer I want to use but I may as well be running around with floppies then! That's TOO 'inelegant' for me.) ((I really enjoy showing Windoze users how easily and efficiently Macs work. :-))) BTW, I'm a networking newbie so please remeber that if you have any ideas. Words of one syllable, etc.. :-) TIA -- --- Peace, Shakes --- "The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place." ---Douglas Adams, on Windows '95--- -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
