Have you tried this. From Macintouch
Tiger refuses to work with some older Macs sharing files, saying "This file
server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect
to it." You can check "Enable File Sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP"
in the File Sharing control panel of Mac OS 9. See KB 106461.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461#sec4
This is a half-truth.... AFP worked at first over Appletalk, then
later over TCP/IP.
{Actually... I think it first worked over Localtalk...}
The above turns on TCP/IP on OS9, period. No help on pre-9 boxes.
BUT...
I have a truckload of ADN bug reports on file over the resulting
instability issue. If you have an OS9 box serving over TCP/IP and X.2
or .3 {and maybe X.4, who knows...} desktops..... the sharing session
terminates every 90 seconds or so if idle.
Apple denied it was happening, then admitted it then was an issue,
THEN promised "Just Buy Jaguar" and then when they was no help;
"Duplicate Report" {i.e. others have already bitched and we're
ignoring them too...}
A solution for Mac OS 7 and 8 is Shareway IP.

Wonder if it is more stable than the Apple solution??
