Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the solution that you referred me to (the URL you gave me), but my color classic doesn't have an "AppleTalk" control panel, and if I click on the "sharing setup" control panel, I get an error message saying that I do not have the "Network" extension in the extension folder. I could not find that extension anywhere on the computer, so I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. Any ideas?
Thanks.
