At 07:31 PM 3/29/2005, Brogan Ross, had this to say :
Here's what I have set up: I've got an Asante router getting the internet connection from my college's network. I've got an eMac running YDL4 and I've got a 15 PB Alu running OSX3.8.
I've turned on both Personal File Sharing and Windows Sharing in the System Preferences. I even turned off the firewall for this. The PB's ip is 192.168.123.148 and eMac's is 192.168.123.158
Ok, so I went back and removed all the files for netatalk, and then did a clean install of netatalk using yum (sudo yum install netatalk). I haven't played with the config files at all, but I open the Service Manager and turn on atalk (afpd doesn't show up here), and then restart the computer. I've set netatalk to runlevels 2,3,4,5 (following the directions from mascarasnake's reply) and make sure atalk starts at boot.
Now I try connecting by going to Network in the Finder on my PB, the eMac (named Wired_Wench) shows up. But if I try to connect, it gives this error message:
Connection failed
This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.
I've had this before too!
But if I do a CMD+K and type in the ip (either just 192.168.123.158, or with afp://) I get this error:
Connection Failed No response from server. Please try again.
As well as this!
I've also tried setting up extra accounts on both machines and tried connecting with those, but to no avail. Same errors occur.
Is there something I need to do in OSX to have it send clear text passwords? Cuz I know that by default netatalk works with clear text but I'm not sure what I'd do in OSX.
I hope this helps, if you need any more info let me know. I really wanna be able to get this working, especially now that I'm having probs. It's laughing at me, and I want to be the one with the last laugh.
Not sure how I resolved it and I have yet to test my PB 3400c YDL (3.0.1) laptop. However, my P100 running RHL 7.2 has no problems serving up AFP to my 10.3.8 B&W. I even have it configured for 2 servers (one users the other guests)! I will move my PB3400c YDL laptop onto my wired network and test it out for you and reply back.
