68 Chapter 3 AFP Service
Connecting to the AFP Server from Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9
Apple file service does not support AppleTalk connections, so clients need to use
TCP/IP to access file services. You can use AppleTalk to find Apple file servers, but the
connection must be made using TCP/IP. For this to work, AppleTalk Browsing must be
enabled on the servers and the clients must have a valid TCP/IP configuration as well as
the most recent version of the AppleShare Client software.
To connect from Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9:
1 Open the Chooser and click AppleShare.
2 Select a file server and click OK.
3 Type your user name and password or select Guest, then click Connect.
4 Select the volume you want to use and click OK.
Setting up a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 Client to Mount a Share Point
Automatically
As an alternative to using the network mount feature of AFP or NFS, clients can set
their computers to mount server volumes automatically.
To set a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 client computer to mount a server volume
automatically:
1 Use the Chooser to mount the volume on the client computer.
2 In the select-item dialog that appears after you log in, check the server volume you
want to mount automatically.
