before even getting started - "v3.2" is not a proper version number for Panther. while we can all read this and figure out what you're talking about, using incorrect version numbers makes it hard for other people to search the archives if they're plugging in "10.3.2 and network", your post (and, following that, the solution) will not be presented as a result. Please use proper version numbers in the future.

Thank you all, >Jim. a connection from OS 9->OS X (or visa versa) isn't going to use AppleTalk except perhaps to show you which machines are around. by entering afp://w.x.y.z/ you are connecting via TCP/IP and taking AppleTalk completely out of the mix. it sounds like the dial up connections are thwarting your setup somehow. in Network on the Panther machine, try making sure under "Network Port Configurations" that Ethernet is at the top of the list - some server daemons (like the file sharing daemon) don't like to accept incoming connections on secondary ports. putting ethernet at the top makes it the primary. restart File Sharing (or, to be safe, the Mac) and all might well be well. hopefully. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
