I am having a lot of difficulty in getting to powermacs to see each other. I have them connected through a netgear 10/100 4 port switch. I am using apple talk to try to connect them. One of the power macs has 2 NIC cards in it...1 forthe DSL and the second to connect to the network. When I originally set up the network they connected flawlessly. After a period of time they just quite seeing each other. I have trashed the appletalk preferences, zapped the pram, checked the connections, the cables, replaced the cables. I don't know what to do next.
Not really enuf detail here. But a few stabs:
If you're trying to make the two Macs see each other via AppleTalk then you must turn on AppleTalk on both machines - making sure that the machine with the two NICs is set to the correct one. Then you must turn on File Sharing via AppleTalk - NOT via IP.
If you're trying to make the two Macs see each other via IP then you have a problem. By default Macs don't route - and you've got that one Mac's ip stack already pointing at the DSL modem.
- Dna.
