TOPIC

    Is Personal File Sharing over TCP/IP included with Mac OS 9 faster than Personal File Sharing over AppleTalk?

DISCUSSION

    The implementation of Personal File Sharing over IP included with Mac OS 9 will not always be faster than Personal File Sharing over AppleTalk depending on file size, computer configurations, network configuration, and traffic load. You may wish to use File Sharing over TCP/IP if that is your organization's preferred networking protocol.

    Note: The AppleTalk control panel must be on in order to start Personal File Sharing over IP. However, you can set your AppleTalk control panel to any setting in order to remove AppleTalk from your network connection.
