Yup, I have the one Asante mini EN/SC. I'll try binhexing it...
other thing I'd love to have figured out, in classic networking is a MacIP router software that'll work on a moderish(OSX) mac. that way I could use the Appletalk to Ethernet box I've got to get the plus online too.
Using MacIP in the TCP/IP control panel is for
LocalTalk only and will not work out to TCP/IP. Furthermore, an AFP bridge will only work with AFP over AppleTalk with LocalTalk to AFP over AppleTalk with Ethernet. Only exotic bridges like the Cayman Systems Gatorbox can do like what you're describing. They are also rare-ish and expensive.
I found Netatalk to be the best solution for AppleShare. I have 2.1.6 running in a Debian virtual machine and have connected to it with System 6 up to 10.8. I had problems connecting without TCP/IP with 2.2.1 so I've stuck with 2.1.6 ever since.
Great. Have you tried 2.2.4? It's the last version of version 2, wasn't sure if it would work.
Would you be so kind as to detail the steps? This is what the rest of the internet provides: [&%√˙©ƒ@Ω£]. I can't make any sense of it, and neither do they detail how they compiled it from source. The last time I did it, the Netatalk library was installed in the wrong directory. The official man pages are rather broadly written, and there's probably a dozen gotchas relating to not using a certain flag or something.
I do have a laptop with 9.10 on it, runs "A bit sluggish", probably would run a bit better on 512MB RAM rather than 384 which is has now (XP SP3 runs perfectly fine). I would install Netatalk on it but because it's a pentaboot and reinstalling an OS would be a major irritation, I'll probably test the "Procedure" in a VM first. I'd like to have Netatalk on it because with the Ubuntu distro, there is $ dd, HFS read support and many other neat little things to help grease the wheels.
