Connecting
to AppleShare File Servers using TCP/IP: MacOS 9 and Earlier
Use the Chooser
to connect to AppleShare servers using TCP/IP. For the Stanford wireless
networks—and any other nets where there are no AppleTalk zones—there
may be few, if any, servers listed. Servers on the local subnet will still
appear.
When you select
a server in the Chooser, AppleShare will attempt to negotiate a TCP/IP connection.
If the client and server support TCP/IP, the connection will be made.
AppleShare
servers on other subnets will not appear in the Chooser. Access to an AppleShare
server on another subnet via TCP/IP requires:
- The IP
address (the name or the number) of the server.
- The server
must be able to share files via TCP/IP.
- Macs
running version 9.0 or later have the capability of sharing files
via TCP/IP. Previous to OS 9.0, Macs required special software called
AppleShare IP. Windows NT servers running "Services for Macintosh"
share files only via AppleTalk. Windows 2000 and XP can share files
with Macs via TCP/IP.
-
To be an AppleShare client, (to access files on a
server running AppleShare over TCP/IP), it is only necessary to
use MacOS 8.1. The capability to access AppleShare TCP/IP servers
can be retrofitted to Macs as old as System 7.6.
Follow these
steps to connect to an AppleShare server over TCP/IP:
- Click
the AppleShare icon on the left pane. Click the Server IP
Address... button.
- Type
the name of the server in the Server Address box . Click the
Connect button.
- Log onto
the server with your username and password. Click the Connect
button.
- The server
volume you selected will be mounted on your desktop.
Tip:
You can recognize a disk mounted via TCP/IP by looking at the icon. Disks
mounted via TCP/IP will have a small green globe attached to the wire.
Tip:
If you need frequent access to a specific server, make an alias to the server
and store it in a convenient location. When you want to connect, double-click
the alias and the server will be mounted.
