Problems with networks and file sharing
Solutions to common network problems
If you are having problems using the network or file sharing, try the following
before attempting further solutions:
m Make sure that AppleTalk is turned on in the Chooser.
m Open the Network control panel and make sure the correct network type
is selected.
m Make sure that all the network software is installed. The Network
Extension and AppleShare files should be in the Extensions folder, and
the Network control panel should be in the Control Panels folder. If you
want to use file sharing, the Sharing Setup control panel should be in
the Control Panels folder, and the File Sharing Extension file should be
in the Extensions folder. If any of these items is missing, use the system
software disks that you made with Floppy Disk Maker to reinstall network
and file-sharing software. (If you don’t have access to a floppy disk drive,
you may be able to install the software over a network. For more
information, see the “Networks & Telecommunications” topic area of
Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide [h] menu.)
m Make sure the network is working by checking in the Chooser for the
shared disks and printers you use.
m Try connecting to the network from a different location, or try connecting
a printer or another computer directly to the Macintosh PowerBook using
network cables. If that works, the problem is likely to be in the network. If
it doesn’t work, the problem may be in the PowerBook or its network
software.
