A2SERVER not functional under macOS 11

[LaPorta]

So I had a perfectly functioning A2SERVER setup working on my Mac Mini server under macOS 10.15. Could share files with OSX down to my SE with 6.0.8. After updating to OS 11, the machine still starts and seems to function, but no machines are able to connect to it. It is not seen as a shared machine under System 7-OS 9, and though it is seen under OS X, I get an error whenever I try to connect. I am not sure what may have broken it under OS 11, but does anyone know who works on it, and how to possibly find out what is going on?

What virtualization tool were you running it on? Is there a possibility that there's some kernel extensions that may need to be re-authenticated or re-installed to run?

 

[LaPorta]

Virtual box. There was indeed a kext that had to be granted permission for the virtual box to even work, but after that it has reported no errors.

 

[Cory5412]

Just to make sure - no reported errors but it's still not working, or no reported errors and that did it and now it's working?

I haven't used virtualbox in a while, is there any virtual networking settings that need to be re-done like a virtual switch or interface or anything?

Sorry, no errors reported and still not working. I will check the network settings, but the fact that it is actually showing up as a server on other OS X-based computers but cannot be connected to tells me that at least it is "hardware" connected as far as the virtual machine is concerned.
