Well I think the problem here is appleshare over appletalk vs appleshare over tcp/ip.
With the old "classic" computers, there was phonenet and other variants of appletalk. Each computer was daisy chained from one to the other (like token). This used their own protocol which was used with these network devices. At the time it made lots of sense (no ip address to configure, etc) but over time doesn't make that much sense (and things have standardized on tcp/ip now). Later they did hack on tcp/ip support but it wasn't "clean" (routing one packet through another system). With the release of 8.x (8.1 I think) they added appletalk over tcp/ip. From then on, it has been the preferred method of use. With the release of mac os x, appleshare is now tcp/ip only. So the old machine can't connect to the new machine because it doesn't have the new protocol and you get the ""The connection to the server has been unexpectedly broken". There has been some success with connect to the idisk server with replacing the appleshare extention. (this was some time ago when it was appleshare only). So You could try copying the extention from an os 9 system and trying that. You probably would need open transport as well, which can be added onto an old system with a separate installer. This might fix your problem. Or simply, only connect one way to the other machine (make an alias or run a sync/backup program to sync folders). thanks, Ian Sidle -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
