Emmett,
I'm just not getting it. I found "Appleshare Client Setup" (version 1.0) on
Version Tracker after I sent the "can't find it" message to you (I sent to
the list and copied to you, BTW). The link you just sent is indeed the same
software, but I cannot find any pull-down menu with "Network." I see 3 menus
- File, Edit (greyed out), and Help. None of the submenus (greyed or live) is
even close to "Network." In the Setup Window I have 3 pop-up options - Info,
Dialogs, and Features, none of them containing anything even close the
"ping," "Network," "TCP," etc.
Whatroute verifies what I already suspected - pings don't get thru from the
colo machines to MakeRain, but they do from my home to MakeRain. I know for a
fact the ISP blocks pings. What seems odd is that I can still mount MakeRain
manually. I would think this issue would impede all remote mounting.
I'm not using AppleShareIP - just standard MacOS 9.1 at both ends. Does this
tool require the server version of AppleShare?
