Re: Does D-Link Router support Appletalk?
-- From: Clyde Kahrl Subject: Re: Does D-Link Router support Appletalk? Anyway, to make sure Xmas went OK I bought an Asante 1004AL wireless 11(b) router.

Re: Does D-Link Router support Appletalk?
Kris asked: I am curious about something though, you said you turned off DHCP to work with your existing network. Are you using it as a bridge? A: I just turned off DHCP so I could test the non-wireless part of the router--from port to port and not going through the WAN port. It used the DHCP of my Asante router. Although I could see the internet, it didn't seem to make any difference with regard to the network--I still couldn't see anything on the net including OS9, slowtalk, and Jaguar machines. I am vaguely aware that some routers do not support some protocols (like say appletalk), but D-Link says it works with Macs so I guess I have to look further. As for a bridge, I guess you are asking if I was able to use the router to access another router. I am going to try--but I haven't yet. (since it was being sold for $46 with 2*$20 rebates, it was cheaper than a bridge). I don't know what you mean about static IP, you can turn DHCP on or off for either the WAN or the LAN ports independently. (the wireless being part of the LAN).

Just because they say it works with Macs, it doesn't mean that it will route appletalk. The fact that it can route TCP/IP technically means that it works with a Mac. Steve Indeed. And the hardwired ethernet section probably does pass EtherTalk packets (AppleTalk over Ethernet) since these packets are just normal ethernet packets containing AppleTalk data moving through a hub. However, it probably doesn't route AppleTalk packets between the wired and wireless networks, nor between wireless clients. Linksys does something similar. Their hubs and routers work with Macs, but they don't support AppleTalk. They'll pass AppleTalk packets over the ethernet hub side of their hardware, but their wireless clients (or upstream clients, AFAIK) won't ever see those packets. As an aside, does OS X do AppleTalk over Ethernet (EtherTalk - much like AppleTalk over serial cables is LocalTalk, infrared is IRTalk, etc)? I was under the impression that standard AppleTalk packets had been evolved out of the OS in favor of only doing AppleTalk encapsulated in TCP/IP packets (and using new tech like zeroconf)... In that case, all the clients would need to be on the same subnet if the router isn't being used.

Re: Does D-Link Router support Appletalk?
I have the same router and I can connect via IP (AFP/IP or TCP/IP) to any other computer, but I don't think it actually supports the Appletalk protocol. I am curious about something though, you said you turned off DHCP to work with your existing network. Are you using it as a bridge? I couldn't get mine to work as a bridge and the documentation said it wasn't supported. Static IP was the only option. Thanks, Kris Subject: Re: Does D-Link Router support Appletalk? I purchased a D-link 614+ wireless router. The router does all internet stuff OK in both wireless and otherwise mode. I can even turn off the DHCP so that it can work in the network that already has an asante router going to the cable modem and other switches. HOWEVER, whether I am just going from port to port, or through the WAN port or through wireless, I cannot see any of the network. I cannot see the other OSX macs, or the OS9 macs or the appletalk or the usb printers. Yes I turned on appletalk and so forth. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Does D-Link Router support Appletalk?
I have used the 614+ for more than a year and am able to see the other computer and share files going both way. I use it wireless DSL between a G-3 Wallstreet and a Power Computing desktop 70 feet and 4 walls away. Runs good on OS 8.6, 9.0, and 9.1. Hope this helps.

Re: Does D-Link Router support Appletalk?
Same here did it for about 2 years now under OSX Panther and Jaguar. You could also contact D-Link Phone Support they are great.
