Why would linksys not add this small piece of software to the wireless side of the router???
It makes no sense.
thanks fred

So, what exactly makes it such a super router?
Above average, intuitive set-up? I don't think so. Stellar tech support? Nope. The fact that it routes in-coming and out-going traffic and distribures IPs? Well, ya, but that's where these things are supposed to begin, not end.

Whaddya mean no AFP support? What are you trying to do exactly?
You can always open up the ports that AFP uses if you want to allow access from outside.
Clarify, please.

Hmmm... Maybe I read it wrong, but I think he's trying to get AppleTalk to bridge from wireless to wired sides.

Seems to me there's a check box somewhere in OS 9 to allow for TCP/IP shares. It's been a while, but look for it.

I don't think that there are many wireless access points or access point/routers that actually bridge AppleTalk. While the protocol is compatible with and intended to ride on ethernet (and its standards and protocols) it has from a global standpoint a relatively limited pool of interested customers.
Since the market share for Macs is roughly 10% of the personal computer market (that's a generic term!), and since not all Mac users demand AppleTalk functionality, the time and effort needed to implement AppleTalk bridging is usually not worth the makers' time.
On the other hand, you can do everything you need to with a printer by using TCP/IP printing, and in general you can share folders and drives just as well using TCP/IP shares. Since TCP/IP is a global standard, just about any device that says it implements TCP/IP should work fine for any function you wnt to use it with.
