One more thing about my set-up that differs from yours: I am running Apple Talk over TCP IP (checked in the File Sharing CP box) and connect my 512k to my network (6400/8.6 & PB G3/9.2.2) via an AppleTalk to Ethernet bridge. Since OSX seems to require TCP IP, it's a fair guess that OS9 is moving squarely in that direction and could be why I can connect, but you can't (assuming you're using standard Phone net to serial on both sides with no Ethernet).
That is not AppleTalk over TCP/IP but AppleShare over TCP/IP (ASIP). ASIP here is an option, you can still use AppleShare over AppleTalk. There is an updated AppleShare client that is generally recommended for accessing ASIP servers. But I don't think it can run on that old of a machine.
I presume if you had the 6300 hardware problem that you would not have even been able to install OS9, but just in case ... Another possibility, OS9 supports up to 2TB, while OS8 only supports 2GB which is also the file limitation of earlier volumes. Using ApleTalk protocols only, OS9 AT may be showing the 512k more than it can handle, where the OS8 stayed with the 512k's limitations. Also, the limit of 346 unique open files is a limitation of Mac OS versions prior to Mac OS 9. Mac OS 9 and later support up to 8169 unique open files. Again, possibly more than the 512k can deal with (assuming you do not have any volumes or files over 2GB on your 6300.
The 2Gb/4Gb limit is an AppleShare Filing Protocol (AFP) limit. It doesn't prevent you from accessing a served volume with more than 4Gb. It can cause problems sometimes because of the confused values returned for available disk space. But you can certainly log in and access files.
