Appletak & Ethernet in all versions of OS X
Authored by: rbhansen on Jan 20, '03 11:35:45AM

Appletalk and Ethernet can coexist in all versions of OS X. I have been running three machines through a Linksys router with an Asante Ethernet/Localtalk bridge for my old HP 5MP since I loaded the OS X Public Beta. The Linksys is connected to my cable modem so all machines can access the net and all machines can print via Appletalk--all at the same time.

I wanted to clarify so others do not feel they need to upgrade to 10.2.3 to gain this functionality.

Sorry, I meant PPPoE and Localtalk

Original Poster here. I meant to say (or at least should have said) PPPoE and Appletalk/Localtalk silmultaneously.

With the 10.2.3 update, appletalk and PPPoE can be activated silmultaneously. In the past it could not without somehow authenticating to your PPPoE provider first, and switching over to Appletalk without letting the PPPoE know about it (it was possible, but required that you repeat it periodically).

I'll email Rob and ask to have the title changed.

Cheers,

Jeff

Appletak & Ethernet in all versions of OS X

I agree, you have always been able to use both appletalk and pppoe. I am not sure about my new version, but the trick on other versions of osX was just to create another network port configuration to use the appletalk, leaving the default ethernet port configuration for the pppoe.
