Special thanks Seth, Your instructions appear perfect in every detail. You have saved me countless hours. Now my 7100 (OS 8.1) a 7500 and a 6100 (both OS 8.6) now accessing the 7300 (OS 101.4). I'll work on getting all the other Mac's connected later. Just wanted to thank you and all the others who have contributed to this thread. On my pre-OS X network I did not use TCP/IP, except to connect to my ISP's thus TCP/IP was either inactive or not configured for Ethernet --it is now. On the OS X side I just unchecked the "Make AppleTalk Active."

Open /Application/NetInfo Manager.app 2. In the column view at the top of the pages go to the path: /config/AppleFileServer 3. In the panel of grayed out values below the column view scroll down to 'use_appletalk' 4. Click the lock in the bottom left corner and punch in your Admin password 5. Change the value for use_appletalk to '1'. 6. Close NetInfo Manager and confirm all saves and updates. 7. Reboot>> Also thanks Mark for info on the 68k machines. I do have a IIci and SE/30 on the network as well. It is not essential for them to have access to the 7300 but it would be nice. When following your directions I could not get the use apple_talk value to be saved as 1. It would revert back to 0 whenever I closed the NetInfo Manager's window. How do I save this?
