Dear Quadraphiles: I've tried getting a solution to this on the MacNetwork list, but nothing satisfcatory has apppeared there, so I will submit to your collective wisdom.
I have two Macs I have hooked up to my church/school's LAN, a Q950 (the server), in my room,and a 7100 in my office. The 950 is running OS 7.6.1, the 7100 is running 8.0. I hope to add machines in the future. Both access the internet fine. When both machines have the AppleTalk CP set to ethernet, they see each other fine and can share files. Now my Q950 (the server) also has two printers and a DuoDock hooked up to on an old-fashioned PhoneNet set-up using AppleTalk, plugged in to the 950's printer port. The problem: if I have the 950 server's Appletalk CP set to "ethernet" to share files over the LAN with the 7100, I can't access the printers on the old-fashioned PhoneNet network. If I have the 950's AppleTalk CP set to "printer port" to use the printers or to access the Duo in the Dock, I can't communicate with the 7100. How can I have both? Is there a way to get the 950 to be connected with 7100 via ethernet AND at the same time have access to the printers and DuoDock? Being able to share the printers on the PhoneNet AT network with the 7100 would be especially nice. Sharing files over TCP/IP requires OS 8.5, I believe, so that's out. Someone else suggested the LocalTalk Bridge CP, but that was correctly pointed out to be irrelevant to my set up. Any ideas?
