Q: Attaching to Server 10.6.8 from OS 9
Hello,
I run in a mixed environment due to several legacy systems that are in place. I've recently had to setup a new (to me) server that is running Server 10.6.8. The other X Servers in the building are all 10.3 and 10.4. The server software was installed as version 10.6.3 then updated to 10.6.8 on an Intel-based Mac Pro and seems to be running fine.
The problem (huge problem) is that I'm unable to attach to the server from a Mac OS 9.2.2 machine via IP though and this concerns me a great deal. The majority of the machines that need to attach are Mac OS 9 machines. I have to have a server running at version 10.5.X or higher to support a backup solution that is about to be deployed. I know that Appletalk isn't supported any longer and having a server that doesn't appear in the chooser is no big deal. I should still be able to access it via IP though right?
I am get an error that says that the version of AFP is incompatible.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Brian
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
