It gets even more weird. my IIx does the same thing.
If I mount a network share on my OS 8.6, and OS 9 machine they both do the same thing. it will freeze chooser on mount, I have to force a reboot.
Then when it reboots, its fine, it moun ts.
But no matter what, if i mount an image on the share, it freezes.
If I do a copy of any file, itll begin the copy process and hang. After awhile, it will come up saying Server unexpectedly closed.
WTF? I have been at this for hours and cant figure out a solution. This is using my G3 running 9.2 as a server.
Now, if i go back to mac os 8.6, it sees the server. BUT as soon as I click on it in chooser, it hangs. then eventually pops up saying no response or something like that. If I delete the appleshare prep, and restart, itll just freeze when choosing the server.
If i pop a CD in, and then mount only the CD drive, it wont freeze chooser, but when trying to copy a file it does the same thing. I tried installing MODE32 just to make sure it isnt a 32 bit issue, does the same thing. made no difference.
The only way I can get the Mac OS 8.6 system to not freeze or say no response, is pop a CD in and it auto-shares. Then it works. Go figure.
Both systems have larger than 2GB volumes, my 6500 mac 8.6 server has a 20GB drive for its files, Formatted as Standard. and my PBG3 has a 120GB formatted as Extended.
