Can installing a version of netatalk resolve any of the shortcomings -- i.e. does it add any functionality for those on 10.5 or later in regards to speaking to something like a SE30 on Mac OS 7 or OS9? On May 25, 1:35 pm, Cameron Kaiser wrote: > > Along the way I discovered (yes, I'm really behin

In the list of devices connected to my router and assigned IP addresses, everything shows up as I would expect, except a G4 MDD (10.4.11) and an 800 MHz G4 ILamp (10.2.8). For those two machines the router displays something like unknown_ without the <> for the Device Name. I tried entering the m
