- I'm having trouble installing AppleTalk Remote Access on a Mac IIfx on
- which it performed fine before. Here's the error message I'm getting,
- which pops up when I try to check "Answer Calls" in the "Remote Access
- Setup" window:
-
- A Remote Access Setup error has occurred.
- AppleTalk(r) Remote Access is not supported
- by the AppleTalk connection selected in the
- Network control panel.
-
- I click OK to continue, and there's a several second pause before the
- Mac comes back and is usable.
-
- The Network control panel shows EtherTalk selected (Phase 2, actually),
- and LocalTalk Built-In and Remote Only as the only other two options.
-
- This Mac originally had ARA on it, and it was removed for one reason
- or another (or simply stopped working, I forget which), so I tried
- to reinstall it with extensions off (booted holding down shift), but
- this error keeps popping up. ARA DID work on this machine; I personally
- dialed in to it and used it remotely. (The same install disks
- were used in all installations to this machine.)
-
- Note that TCP/IP services and EtherTalk services (laserwriters,
- columbia appleshare, File sharing incoming and outgoing) all work
- fine.
-
- Specs: Mac IIfx, 8 MB RAM, VM turned off, System 7.0.1 + tuneup.
- MacTCP 1.1, Ethernet board of unknown type
- ARA v1.0 (1991)
- Modem: MultiTech MultiModem V32B, set up for 9600 bps
-
- Do I have to strip out every speck of ARA before reinstalling it?
- I may have left some of the pieces in a non-system folder.
- Does anyone know what else could be wrong? Thanks,
-
