m Make sure that files are being shared on the other computer. The File
Sharing control panel on that computer lists the items being shared.

access. (See the “Sharing Files” topic area of Mac OS Help, available in the
Help menu.)

When you have file sharing turned on, you can’t eject disks (other than floppy

After you’ve ejected the disk, you can turn file sharing back on.

m Some disk-formatting programs don’t work with file sharing. If you use such
a program, contact the manufacturer or vendor for compatibility information.
m There may be a problem with some of the information your computer
uses to start up file sharing. Follow these steps in order until the problem
is solved:
1. Open the File Sharing control panel and enter new information in the
Owner section. Then try again to turn on file sharing.
2. Remove the File Sharing folder from the Preferences folder (inside the
System Folder). Then restart the computer and try to turn on file sharing.
3. Reset the parameter RAM. (For instructions, see “The Computer Makes
an Unusual Sound at Startup, or You See a ‘Sad Macintosh’ Icon,” in the
section “Problems Starting Up the Computer” earlier in this chapter.)
Afterward, make sure to turn AppleTalk back on and select the correct
network type in the Network control panel.
4. Remove the Users & Groups data file from the Preferences folder
(inside the System Folder). Restart the computer.
5. Reinstall system software.
