Toggle AppleTalk between Ethernet and Airport
Authored by: ptwithy on Oct 08, '04 12:21:06PM

Can't you just create two 'Locations' in the Network preference pane (by duplicating your normal one) and then editing one to enable AppleTalk on the other interface? Then you can just use the Apple/Locations menu to switch back and forth.

Perhaps this doesn't work if you already are using Locations for other network settings. I find that the default Automatic location works for me 99% of the time.

Duplicating locations is actually what I used to do. In my case, since I move around a lot between different networks, I have lots of locations configured (some of which change), and it seemed unnecessary to have two of each just for AppleTalk, which is why I wrote the script.
