Networks

You can’t find or can’t open icons needed to set up file sharing.

nOne or more icons may be in the wrong place. Make sure that the Sharing Setup icon is in the Control Panels folder, and that the File Sharing Extension file, the Network Extension file, and the AppleShare file are in the Extensions folder. (Both folders are inside the System Folder.)

nSome network software may not be installed. Use the Installer to install the appropriate network software.

The shared disk you want to connect to does not appear in the Chooser window.

nAppleTalk must be active before you can use a shared disk. Make sure that AppleTalk is active in the Chooser.

nIf your network has zones, the shared disk you want may not be in the currently selected zone. Make sure the correct zone is selected.

nThe computer that the disk is on must be turned on before the disk can be shared. Make sure that computer is on and that it has file sharing turned on.

You can’t open a shared disk or folder.

nYou may not have the access privileges needed to use the disk or folder. Ask the network administrator or the owner of the shared item to grant you access.

nYou may have entered your name or password incorrectly when you tried to open the shared disk or folder. Check with the owner of the item to make sure you are entering your name and password correctly, and try again.

You can’t connect to your own computer from another Macintosh.

nMake sure that your computer is turned on, file sharing is turned on for both computers, you have the correct access privileges, and you entered your name and password correctly.

See Chapter 12 for more information about using your computer on a network.
