Can't connect to 10.2 AppleShare from 7.1

[timmerk]

According to http://www.applefool.com/se30/, System 7.1 should be able to connect to OS X 10.12 Jaguar as long as AppleShare WS 3.5 is installed, and possibly MacTCP 2.0.6 and Network Software Install 1.5.1. I've tried with and without the TCP and networking software, but no dice. The 10.2 machine shows up in the Chooser, prompts me for login, but once I try to log in, I get the message "The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken". The 10.2 machine has AppleTalk enabled, and I can access it from 7.5/7.6, so I don't think it's a "server" or issue with my network.

I also made sure MacTCP got an IP using MacPing before trying to connect to the 10.2 box from the Chooser, but no dice. I'm not sure if AppleShare WS 3.5 even has the capability of connecting to AppleShares over TCP/IP, but I thought I would try everything.

Any tips? Has anyone ever gotten System 7.1 to connect to 10.2? I bought Power Mac G5 just to run 10.2 for this purpose, so I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks!

You might also need the File System Manager 1.2 extension. Basilisk II needs this for file sharing pre-System 7.5 systems, too.

The guide for an SE/30 references the "File Sharing Extension", but I don't think that's quite right. I think FS Manager is the one you need.

Thanks, I just tried the File System Manager, but no luck. I believe Basilisk needs it for it's virtual file system folder sharing.

  UPDATE: I got it working! I found this tip:

You'll have to enable Use_Appletalk in Netinfo before the OSX box will showup in the OS9 chooser.config>AppleFileServer>Use_AppleTalk 0change the "0" to a "1" and reboot.

From here: https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=14349271#p14349271

I tried it under 10.2 and 10.3. Only 10.2 with this tip applied works with System 7.1 and AppleShare WS 3.5. Trying it with 10.3 gives a message stating the version of AFP on 10.3 is incompatible.

Seems Danamania knew about this eons ago, via System 6 Heaven.

There's also instructions there for "Connecting a System 6 Mac directly to Mac OS X 10.1" (and presumably 10.2), which will probably come in handy to someone at a later date.  ;-)

Would this trick work with X.2 Server software, do you suppose?

Yes, that's actually what I used it on (version 10.2.4 server.)
