Jim, Your iMac should be able to access the Pismo and the Pismo the iMac. First of all, did you turn on file sharing on both? Second, for the iMac to access the Pismo through AppleTalk, you need to specifically turn on AppleTalk in Directory Access, in /Applications/Utilities. Until OS 9, AppleShare would only work on the AppleTalk protocol, which doesn't require any IP address. However, for some reason, AppleTalk is turned off by default in 10.3. That's what "Directory Access" is for (among other things). This will permit the Pismo to sell its sharing stuff over AppleTalk. Now, if you want to access other AppleTalk-based AppleShare servers (like your iMac) from the Pismo, you also have to make sure that AppleTalk is turned on in your current network location, in System Preferences. Then, on the iMac, make sure that AppleTalk is turned on and configured to use Ethernet. -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
