Having done nothing in particular to my 7100cx I now can't mount any OS X Based AppleTalk shares that require a password, it just tells me the password is wrong. It is not (I'm pretty sure) upgrading to OS X 10.3 that did id, but might maybe 10.3.1? Connecting to both my OS X Boxes using the 'Server IP addess' button in Chooser *did* work until I tried it today.
Having updated several boxes (mac and pc) to yet another free release of mdk I'm having no trouble appletalking. Got what I paid for. :)
As most of the macs covered by this list lack the "ip address" button in the chooser Im happy to say that its not required on this lan.
Except for the original Mac II and the LC (both 68020 Macs) all the Macs supported by this list can connect to a file server via tcp/ip and are compatible with a version of the appleshare client software that puts the 'ip adress' button in the chooser.
What version is required to get the "ip address" button, I have no need for it and would like to point out that that Mark shouldn't either. Original where possible on my on topic macs. 3.8.x?
Apple really are trying their damnedest to kill AppleTalk....
The entire classic OS, if they dont support you why support them with 2 paid OS releases each year?
They did not kill the classic os, it is still a part of their new OS and probably will remain so for years to come because there is nothing to gain from dropping the support, on the contrary.
BTW It is one paid OS update each year. Still quite a lot.. .Must be the reason why Apple is the only pc manufacturer, apart from Dell, which isn't bleeding money.
My mistake, what was it 18 months between Jaguar and Panther? Close for "pay to play" but fair enough for "pray for speed" as the case may be. I believe Apple delivered this time round.
No one would cry over the loss of dell, mac heads would have to find another company to bash while the pc community rejoice, I guess that wont happen soon.
Meanwhile, Apple really shouldn't turn a loss now, all things considered.
With no osX here I cant offer more advise than to double check your network settings. Its not a osX list after all.
It is not, but connecting vintage macs to OS X macs is pretty much on topic, just like connecting vintage macs to linux boxes, windows 2000 fileservers etc. And I am pretty sure this list has more unix savvy people than all other lem lists combined.
Are all mac folk now counted as Unix savvy? LOL
I am not sure if a Mac 7200 crammed in a IIcx box is standard issue for this list, but that is a different issue altogether.
7100 rather than 7200, lets get the all important form factor right.
Can't imagine why not, other upgrade paths are classed as on topic on other lists while bearing little in common with the list subject. The 7100 is vx factor and as such fits in a backwards "god NO" sorta way.
My netatalk setup did have a small problem with the server being listed in the macs chooser, this was corrected with the firewall settings or one of the server configs. In this case the "ip address" button on a ppc would still work as you described. Sorry I can't be more helpful Mark.
Its so nice to have the old and new nanny in the same thread again, now where's the traffic? All in fun folks. :)
Cheers.
