Problems with networks and file sharing

If you are having problems using a network or file sharing, try the following before attempting further
solutions:

m Make sure the network is working by opening the Chooser and checking for the shared disks and

printers you usually use.

m Make sure that AppleTalk is turned on in the Chooser.

m Open the AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels and make sure the settings are correct. For more

information, see Chapter 6, “Connecting Your Computer to a Network.”

m Make sure that all the network software is installed. The AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels should

be in the Control Panels folder, and the Network and AppleShare extensions should be in the
Extensions 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 should be in the Extensions folder. If any of
these items is missing, reinstall the system software according to the instructions in “Installing
System Software” in Chapter 13.

You can’t select Ethernet in the AppleTalk or TCP/IP control panel, or it doesn’t
appear in the control panels.

m You must have an Ethernet card in the computer’s communication card slot for Ethernet to appear

in the AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels. Make sure you have a card and that it has been properly
installed.

m You can only select Ethernet when the network cable is connected properly. Shut down the

computer and check the Ethernet connection. 

m You can only select Ethernet when the network is functioning. If you suspect that the network is

down, notify your network administrator.

m If you have an Apple Ethernet CS II Twisted Pair Card, the status light near the Ethernet port will

light when a proper network connection is made. If the status light doesn’t come on, the network is
not responding. Check with your network administrator for help.
