- I have several mac's and a GS connected via Localtalk to a ci which is
- running Apple's Internet Router and is Ethertalked to a NeXT Cube which is
- running IPT's uShare AFP server, as a task.
-
- I can mount the NeXT volume on the GS desktop, move files back and forth and
- print to the NeXT printer without any problems.[ Same with a 486 which is also
- on Localtalk.].
-
- There seems to be 2 problems though, also shared by the PC, but not by the
- Mac's.
-
- (1) Moving a GS file to the server causes it to lose it file type and
- creator (this is not the case with Mac files from a Mac).
-
- (2) Logging off the server (either by dragging the volume to the garbage can
- or OA-Y) hangs the GS. This problem also occurs with the PC using Windows'
- based software (specifically Copstalk and Farallon's sw).
-
- The file type/creator issue seems to be similar to one that happens with CAP.
- Does anyone have a fix for this (Todd?)? The logging off problem is different
- though. Could this be a funtion of the Internet Software router that I am
- using (may not be the most recent). Any clues would be much appreciated. The
- speed with which one can print to the NeXT laser
- is impressive using uShare/uPrint, but the logging off issue is really
- a pain. On the PC it completely hangs the system to the point of requiring a
- hard reset.
