I didn't know that; that's neat. I overlooked that checkbox addition to OS9 file sharing dialog. I think that I might have never actually opened the file sharing control panel in OS 9 in all this time- just used users and groups to set up accounts, and the control strip to turn sharing on/off :) I have always set up my ftpd so that if you log in with the right privs you can access shared network volumes, which has always given me access to my whole LAN from anywhere I can run an ftp client (and is nicely cross-platform as a result) but that IP feature might come in handy sometime.
