Sorry if this info was already given, I've just joined the list recently w/o checking the archives.

What sort of hardware do you have in between the 7300 and the other Macs, router/hub/switch? Try connecting via crossover cable just to test that it's not something other than OS X. I've had this problem. Another thing to look at are the permissions on the shares that are being used from the OS X side. Make sure they are either set to everyone or match exactly the username and password you are using to connect. >> Also when I try to connect to the 7300 with a Mac that >> has a ISP configuration, Remote Access starts up the >> modem and tries to go online.

If so, change to ethernet or set up a new location with the ethernet settings for your LAN and switch to that when you want to connect to the other Mac. > I know you probably have file > sharing enabled in the System Prferences panel, but have you also enable > Appletalk? that sounds like what's happening.

I read somewhere that the Appletalk setting on OS X is used only for connecting to legacy machines that can't connect to Appletalk servers run over the TCP/IP protocols. If you don't have it checked, you just won't see the server listed in the Chooser but you will still be able to access it without problems by supplying the IP address. I know only because I had it disabled once but was able to still connect, then found out later, oops. OS 9 does this using the Appletalk and Shareway IP extensions. I think the Shareway extension allows incoming requests from over TCP/IP to connect to to an Appletalk server. Otherwise can only be served within the same LAN. Check also that the Open Transport extensions are installed and active as well. Your Macs won't run on a network without them. Of course, I could be wrong. (most times I am!)
