9.2.2 does not see AppleShare server

[Von]

Hi All,

I have a Power Mac G4 QuickSilver and G3 Wallstreet laptop that both run 9.2.2 and 10.2.8. On my home network I have a Lubuntu VM that runs AppleShare via Netatalk that all of my 7.5.5, 7.1.1, 6.0.8 machines can see/access just fine.  When I attempt to connect either the G4 or G3 machines to this server they don't see the cerver via CHooser > AppleShere. If I go to Server IP Address... and get the IP address from the Lubuntu box and enter it, I can access the AppleShare.

Any thoughts on adjustments needed to both 9.2.2 installs to get the AppleShare visible?  I am baffled as to why this works fine on the older OS's

THx

You might need to make sure AppleTalk is enabled and set to the active network interface you're using.

In OS 9, go to Apple menu -> Control panel -> AppleTalk, it'll list the interface, it might be on wifi if your machine(s) have it.

Under 10.2, I believe it's in Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Network and you probably have to select the interface you're using and make sure AppleTalk is enabled on it.

So in fiddling around with this this AM, the G4 now sees the server but the G3 does not. Both AppleShare and TCIP Control Panels have ethernet selected and AppleShare appears Active in Chooser on both machines.

What's your network look like? Any chance there are weird routers or wifi/powerline hardware that might not be passing appletalk packets?
