I thought I could connect my localtalk-only machines to my netatalk Appleshare server with just a LocalTalk Bridge (Asante).
I just got my bridge, hooked it up to my ethernet network and to a couple of localtalked Pluses. I'm using the original Apple localtalk adapters and cables. Neither of these Pluses can see my Appleshare volume via the Chooser.
I have a Quadra with a direct ethernet connection (AAUI) on the same switch, it can see the Netatalk server- and this Quadra is not configured for tcp/ip- so I know the Netatalk is sending Ethertalk TCP frames on my network.
I thought the bridge would translate all the localtalk over to Ethertalk and vice-versa.
Or could it be just old versions of Appleshare client on the Pluses? They both have 6.x whereas the Quadra is 7.5.
I thought I did this years ago and it just worked... but I have nothing this time.
The Asante Bridge is brandnew, and I can see it passing traffic back and forth via the lights on the unit.
