AppleTalk fiasco
Authored by: mkzsteve on Mar 19, '02 04:17:22PM

I have noticed completely contradictory AT behavior, although this only seems to occur on a Ti PB running OS X 10.1.3 (and previous versions). I use location settings to go between home and office. Generally AT is unavailable, in spite of the checkbox on the AT tab in Network System Prefs. Toggling it repeatedly (and saving between toggles) eventually gets it operational. Usually AT becomes alive with the AT check in the UNCHECKED state. I looked at NetInfo, per this suggestion, on two OS X machines and can see nothing listing the network config that would suggest AT is on or off. This brings up another point. there is no simple way I found to determine if AT is working. I have to use the GO... feature to determine if I am seeing AT-networked devices. This is heinous. I have posted this on other lists and never gotten a response.

Hi:

You can query the status of AppleTalk via the Terminal command line. Do a man on appletalk or go here: http://www.osxfaq.com/man/8/appletalk.ws and see if this helps. This is an easy way to see if it's up or not.

Hi,
I have been suffering also from no AT.
I solved mine today by SAVING which means clicking on the lock in the NETWORK window, selecting Built-in Ethernet and Appletalk. The message
kept saying Save, so I found save in the lock in the bottom left. Worked like a
charm.

I can now print!!!!!!!!!!
