What Computer Name have you set up in your Sharing Preferences?
G3
Is it blank? If so, you need to provide a name.
If that still doesn't work:
If you open up the Terminal and enter the word "hostname" (without the
quotes, and followed by the return key), what does it print? Does it
print "localhost" or "192.168.1.2"? Also, if you are able to examine the
file named "hostconfig" in the folder "/etc", does it contain the
following line?
HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-
It Prints "g3.local" and hostconfig does indeed contain
HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-
Further down I noticed the line
SMBSERVER=-NO-
Is that good? I do have Windows Sharing active.
Thanks
Paul
