Hi, all
I work with a network with a win 2003 Server and 5 Mac that running Mac OS
9.2 and Mac OSX 10.3.9.
When I connect Mac to the server using OS X the network speed is high both
in TCP/IP (with SAMBA) than AppleTalk protocol.
If I boot Mac with OS 9 the network connection ( in this case I can use only
Appletalk protocol) is very slow. Someone can help me to resolve thi problem?
Thank you

Seeing that your question relates to networking and
Windows/Macs, you might be better off posting it in
Windows and Mac network groups. This group focuses
on file system questions.

Great idea! But Where is Windows and Mac network group. I can't find it.
Thank you for your help

In article < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >,



Even with Mac OS 9, you should be connecting to your server via AFP
(Apple Filing Protocol) over IP and not AFP over Appletalk. Appletalk
will indeed be slower (as much as 25% the speed of IP from what I've
seen).

Test that you're connecting over IP by opening the Chooser and entering
the server's IP address rather than selecting it from the list. If this
fails, then something is wrong with your IP connectivity. Verify that
your Mac has IP connectivity (such as accessing the Internet). If this
is OK, then your server may have a problem with its File Services for
Macintosh. Your worst case scenario would be uninstalling and
reinstalling the Mac service.

Hope this helps! bill
