>>>> It's either OS 8.6 or OS 9 where you pick up the capability to do TCP/IPfilesharing.
- Eric.
8.5.1 was the first
No either way. 8.1 had the ASIP client built in. OS 9 had the ASIP FileSharing server built in. You could do ASIP on FileSharing on earlier OSes but you had to buy the software from a third party. It's basically their software that Apple bought and added to OS 9.
The above paragraph is about AppleSHARE over IP (ASIP), not IP over AppleTALK (MacIP).
Well, OS 8.1 certainly lets me use AppleTalk for TCP/IP *iff* I have a MacIP server configured.
You don't need a MacIP server, but it can help. If you set everything manually it will work without a server. And MacIP works on OT and Classic back to 7.0 or before.
I tried Googling up some information on that -- I have a StarMax 3000 I'd like to use as a bridge between the ethernet-less Powerbook 1400 I have and LAN -- but came up blank. Rather, I got tons of stuff, typically 2-3 years old or older, that normally says, "That was something Apple used to support," and "You can't use that any more."
I dug up that Sustainable Softworks used to sell a product that did it here (http://www.sustworks.com/products/product_ipnr.html), but obviously that site's a bust now.
The site is fine and so is IPNetRouter.
Any easy way to make my Max a bridge to the net for my 1400 via the Printer port?
You can:
Use IPNetRouter and an Ethernet to LocalTalk bridge/router. For the latter either LocalTalk Bridge (free from Apple) or a hardware bridge will do.
or
Use a Shiva/Kinetics FastPath or Cayman Gatorbox to do both. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
