Hi,
Nice board and I'm glad to be here, its a mine of information
I'm having some real problems with several of my old macs at the moment in the network department.
I have a Quadra 700, a 7100/80, a LC475 and a Performa 6200 all with the same problem, I'm trying to get them to connect to a shared external drive on my intel imac running 10.5.6. When I try to connect via the chooser (typing in theimacs ip address) it crashes out with an error and does not connect. A reboot of the machine produces a bomb with 'Appleshare error', sometimes with a -1 error code. I can trash the prefs for tcp/ip and apple talk and this enables the machine to boot but trying again the same arror cycle returns.
The macs are not connected at the same time, I plug each of them in when I want to use them, they use the same display, keyboard and mouse and network cabl
the machines are running a mix of 7.6, 8.1 and 8.6.
A 7300 with a g3 upgrade card running 9.2.2 connects no problem as do a G3 imac, a B&W and a G4 (all running 10.4).
So far I've changed the network cable and the router with no sucess.
Any ideas what doing wrong?? its really really annoying :b&w:
