It has the remedy for your problem. In plain English, OS9 uses a file sharing protocol called AFP. (Apple Filesharing Protcol). AFP filesharing does not use IP, it uses a different method of sending data over ethernet, etc. OS9 can also be set to use AFP over TCP, which then uses TCP (and underneath it IP) to send and receive data. Snow Leopard dropped the native AFP protocol and only supports AFP over TCP. Going into the proper control panel on the OS9 computer and turing on AFP over TCP will fix your problem. How to is described in the discussion. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

It is on the list here: <http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/> -- Jim Gibson

It is an "Apple Specialist" store that sells Apple products on a reseller basis. The name of the store is "macman", not "Apple". It is what people have referred to as a "third-party" store. They purchase Macs and other Apple products from Apple at wholesale prices and resell them to the public at retail prices. They may or may not provide warranty work (I am not familiar with the terms of Apple's warranties, never having had to take advantage of them. :) -- Jim Gibson

And that brings to question whether they took proper care in upgrading your machine for you. I suggest that if you had brought it to a real Apple store, your address book and other data might not be in limbo right now. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

That doesn't tell me if it's bootable. How did you make this backup, exactly? -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
