You can have spaces, you just have to represent the properly in a URL, so it
would be afp://Nigel Garvey.
However, I'd go for the simpler URL to test, and just try afp://192.1.1.3
first. You'll have to manually enter userid, and password, and pick the
drive manually, but it will tell you if connectivity is working.
Also, afp:// is not going to work that well on a machine that isn't running
afp/ip, and unless you bought Open Door's software, that didn't show up
until Mac OS 9. Mac OS 8.6 uses straight appletalk which is a different URL:
afp://at/machinename/sharename
If you try to connect to an afp/at machine using afp/ip, it's never going to
work.

A job of Jobs one would assume.
It looks to me like you are trying to connect to a machine using a protocol
it doesn't support. Try using a proper afp/at URL for anything below Mac OS
9.
