Hmm... It just simply worked for me. The pulldown menu is the popup
in the default window. On my machine (OS 9.2.2, but this worked also
under 9.1) the 5 menu items were there right off: Info, Dialogs,
Features, Network, Cache.
Possible debug steps: In your Info display, what text is displayed?
You should see: "Supports AppleShare over IP Yes". Are all your
security extensions loaded? Have you stripped out other items from
your extension set? Have you dumbed down a user mode? I think it has
to be something like that. This involves the client only, it makes no
difference what server you might be connecting to, and you don't need
Appleshare IP to be running on the client.

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?

JWBaumann asked me off-list for the URL for AppleShare Client setup,
which is apparently hard to find, so I'm posting it here. It is:
<http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Eng
lish-North_American/Macintosh/Misc/AppleShare_Client_Setup.smi.bin>
I can't take the credit for finding it. I was given this URL by
Robert C. Jacobson <email@hidden>, who solved the
problem for me, and whose full response on this subject, which I
found when I looked for the URL in my mail archive, I now quote:
Normally, the Appleshare client attempts to verify the existence of the
Appleshare server with pings. If you have a firewall at the office that
blocks pings, then that is the problem. If it doesn't get a ping
response, it assumes the server does not exist.
You can test this by using the WhatRoute tool to try and ping the office
machine. This tool is not installed by default, but you can install it
from the CD, or download it from
<http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~bryanc/whatroute-17-ppc.hqx>
If you can't "ping" the office machine from home, then you need to
install the Appleshare Client Setup tool on your home computer.
Once you have the tool installed:
1) Select "Network" from the Pulldown menu 2) Deselect "Verify TCP
Address with Ping"
