Toggle AppleTalk between Ethernet and Airport
The history of AppleTalk has made it rather confusing, especially since it's often misused. AppleTalk is a Level 4 network protocol. Other Level 4 protocols include Novell Netware, Banyan Vines, TCP/IP (well, thats actually TCP, and IP, a Level 3 protocol), and NetBEUI. Two gizmos can communicate over a network in any of these ways. That network could be ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, TokenRing, or modems. A NetBEUI computer will just ignore AppleTalk on its Ethernet connector, and vice versa.

Thanks. I think I see the distinctions you are making. Maybe my confusion is due to my tcp/ip-centric view of the world, along with my only ever use of the Mac being under OS/X. |
