Hi Seth,
Ok, cool. I'm not doing that.

Aha! Yes, I can. And TCP/IP is the way I would rather it work anyway. But
are you saying that I am limited to this method (specifying the IP in the
Chooser) if I want to use TCP/IP?

Hmm...See previous question... ?

Will doing this turn off Appleshare IP? That's something I don't want to
do.

[root@microcosm pub]# /sbin/insmod appletalk
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/appletalk.o: a module named appletalk already
exists

[root@microcosm pub]# /sbin/lsmod -a
Module Size Used by
appletalk 17376 13 (autoclean)
ne2k-pci 4448 1 (autoclean)
8390 5920 0 (autoclean) [ne2k-pci]
eepro100 12112 1 (autoclean)
So apparantly Appletalk *is* loaded. But for some reason the machine does
not show up under Appleshare in the Chooser. But I can connect just fine
with TCP/IP. Hmmm...
(Thank you all for your help in this. I don't know what I would do without
you! =)
