One fact that is relevant is that OS X 10.4 is not capable of making AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) connections over appletalk, only TCP/IP. One local subnet protected by a router firewall seems appropriate. I don't really understand why you need to use two subnets 10.100.x.x and .x? Even if someone else is going to provide your answer, we need to understand that.

Power PC Mac OS 9.2.x Mac OS 9.1, Mac OS X 10.4.8Ĭaution here - I have experience Only with Cisco switches (what we have at school - IIT - and then Only because the IT folks disabled appletalk and I had to get on them because I have a $10K piece of software that requires appletalk.) Since the ping test fails, I thought that would be the next place to look.

However I am about to try again following your steps in Network9X more tightly. That failed over the LAN, as well as by cross-over directly between the OS 9 machine and my own running 10.4.8. I have no problems seeing and mounting a shared Mac in AppleTalk or TCP/IP in OS 9 to OS 9 sessions, and few problems (other than a relative lack of familiarity) in OS X to OS X sessions.īut I have tried from 3 different Tiger machines to mount the accounting server, which runs OS 9.2.2, onto the desktop, so far unsuccessfully. In AppleTalk, I have no zones declared, and I simply make sure that Network and Node IDs are unique to each machine. Both Locations use the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. I have our Intranet on the 10.100.100.1-255 subnet, and our users can go online by setting their Location to DSL XRtr LAN, which is configured as 192.168.1.1 using DHCP, and returning to Intranet when they are done.

it allows traffic through with minimal management, as I understand it. The Baystack is configured as a switch, i.e.
#Does mac os x use the network connection tool for configuring pro#
Our LAN consists of a 24 port Baystack 350 with a Gigabit MDA over fiber to our database server (a G4 AGP with 1 GB of RAM and a dual channel SCSI 160), while the 24 ethernet lines are cat 5 type B, and feed to our users' machines as well as to 6 networked printers and a MIH-130 XRouter Pro which connects to our DSL Router by cross-over and hosts our web site in its DMZ.
