TOPIC This article is intended to answer frequently asked questions about changes made to File Sharing in Mac OS 9. DISCUSSION Question: When I opened my File Sharing control panel I noticed that the computer had already assigned a name to the computer, 'PowerPC 750 128.0MB'. Other computers running Mac OS 9 on my network didn't do this. Why? Article 60626 " Mac OS 9: File Sharing Computer Name Filled In By Network Assistant . " Question: When I look at the bullets representing my password in the File Sharing control panel, they don't match the number of characters for the password I thought I used when setting up file sharing. Typing the password I sometimes use that matches the number of characters in the File Sharing control panel doesn't work. Has the computer changed my password? Article 60543: " Mac OS 9: File Sharing Owner Password Field Shows 8 Bullets. " Question: When I try to turn on file sharing via TCP/IP in the File Sharing control panel, it says that I have to make AppleTalk active - but I'm trying to use TCP/IP file sharing, not AppleTalk. Do I still have to make AppleTalk active? Article 60627 " Mac OS 9: File Sharing Over TCP/IP Requires AppleTalk To Be Active . " Question: I am running TCP/IP file sharing on my Mac OS 9 computer. When another user connects to my computer using the Chooser it connects via AppleTalk. What am I doing wrong? Article 60628 " Mac OS 9: File Sharing - Type Computer IP Address In Chooser . " |
