Re: [OT] Network file sharing



with netatalk and apple talk installed, every mac can see a linux and a windows
machine, because in the standard settings of tcp/ip under mac os (regardles which
version you use after 7.1) you have to go and switch the usermode to advanced or
admin then you have the option button, hit it and you see tcp on demand (i think) is
marked, remove it and you will never connect with apple talk.
