I have Apple Talk turned on, but I cannot connect to my NT server which is running appletalk services. I found that to connect I need to hit command K and should be able to browse, a quick check in the help file said this feature does not work in X PB use tcp/ip instead.
OK, so I put in the IP address of my NT server and still nada. Tried afp://server ip and still nothing. I can ping it, I can get to it(NT Server) if I use a different Mac running OS9, I can open a terminal and see apple talk running and get the correct zone (appletalk -u en0) but no matter what I do I can't get to the server. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Can't anyone help me with this?

I have been successful connecting to my NT server, using "afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where x is my server's IP address. Give it another try. I can't see diddly using AppleTalk, but I can conncet to my OS X box from an OS 9 Mac using the IP address and my OS X logon. So, at least IP services are working.

ArkadyChicago:
Is that through the network browser, command K? Or through terminal app?
I did it through command k and nothing.

Lanlord:

It was using Command-K.

Wish I could make other recommendations, but I'm struggling with Appletalk too. Also, I was connecting top a Windows 2000 saerver, not NT as I previopusly stated. There's a difference, I think, in hpow AFP works on NT versus Win 2000.

I am having similar problems. I am on a rather large network at work with multiple domains. A server I connect to alot shows up when I ping it,.but thats all. Other wise I get error messages stating that the server cannot be found when I try to connect. I previously used Dave to connect to these NT servers, and when I run Dave thru classic mode via the chooser, all the servers I expect to see show up. However I still cant connect. I was able to print on a laser printer thru the network., but it thought the printer was connected via appletalk.

any thoughts on any of this?

I do know you can mount servers (they show up on Mac OS X's desktop) through Classic's Chooser. That's how I'm working around this.

I tried mounting through classic's chooser, and I can see the server, see the drives I have configured, but when I select one and press OK, all it gives me is an error which says Connect to the file server ''

Any success elsewhere?

I have the same problem. I can see the network volumes through classic's network browser.. but when I try to conect.. no love :-(

I hope you're running an AppleShare IP server.

As far as I can tell OS X only supports AppleShare/IP services ie..AppleshareIP servers and OS9 Personal File Sharing with TCP/IP checked.

NT 4.0 SPx does not use Appletalk over TCP/IP therefore you won't be able to connect without using another server product for NT (see www.macwindows.com for a list of alternatives to Services for Macintosh on NT) I tried one called MacServerIP (i think?) they had a free demo available(caution: read the demo notes, it limits it's use by randomly slowing your connections).

Win2000Server supports AFP over TCP/IP therefore it will connect from OS X


When you you connect on OS X:
goto Finder
click "Go" menu--->"connect to server"
type AFP://"IP Address of AFP Server machine"
example... afp://192.168.0.1

I am unable to connect using the connect to server dialog. However, I can double click on an alias of a server from my OS 9 favorites folder and it will then mount. If I then try to connect to server after that, the dialog will not even open.

appletalk -z in the terminal says no zones found. weird.


Definitely some laky behavior here
