Switch AppleTalk between AirPort and Ethernet
Authored by: brw3sbc on Apr 04, '05 06:22:43PM

I am mystified by this hint. I don't understand the problem for which a solution is being offered. It interests me because I frequently switch between my wireless (802.11g) and Ethernet connection here at home where I use an OS 9 machine as a server and I have a couple of LocalTalk connected printers, all on an Ethernet/LocalTalk bridged network that includes other computers and my wireless router. On my G3 500 PowerBook, I use Location to switch between the two connection and never have an issue connecting to my servers or my printers (Appletalk). Could it be because in each my Locations, I only have one choice of port selected (i.e. only Airport in Home Wireless and only Ethernet in Home Wired)? In both configurations, I have "Make AppleTalk Active" with Automatic configuration.
