Appletalk stopped working
hey everyone i just upgraded to 10.2 and it seems that the good ol' Command + K doesnt seem to work anymore.
What i mean is back in 10.1.5 it would easily find my connected computers, but now 10.2 cant even locate it.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Check your AppleTalk network settings (System Preferences -> Network -> AppleTalk) and make sure that it's only enabled on one interface.
Mac OS X ensures that AppleTalk only runs on a single interface whereas Mac OS X 10.1.x let you enable it on multiple interfaces.
It may be that when upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2, the system turned off AppleTalk on your primary network (it doesn't know which NIC you want it enabled on).

I had a similar symptons. It turns out that in my case I was linking to macs that had the same name(makes sense since they both belonged to me) this may have caused some domain resolution issues for AppleTalk. I even had the same user on both machines! I changed this too.
Since things worked fine after that simple tweak, I am naively assuming that the name conflict was the reason.
