re,Re: [Techtalk] Password Incorrect

[Andrew]

Hello Ellie,

(1.)	Thank You for your interest. Is this is now a Mac question?. 
Well How do I implement your suggestion? I am confused, the only 
place the server shows up is in the Chooser.
	The Mac, now is my e-mail, web center, it has a static IP. My 
intention was using the Linux PC as a file server only.  Are you 
suggesting I move the IP to the PC and serve mail, web, and files? 
The connection speed would probably improve, but being a nubie I 
could use a few recommendations,, programs to use and implementation 
suggestions etc. This was the way it was headed eventually, I thought 
it better to get my feet wet as a file server only.
	This problem has stumped the Netatalk list. If I read your 
reply correctly, Yours is the work around I have been looking for.

(2.)	Lister "Walt" suggested using an earlier version of Netatalk, 
this involves removing the newer version, removing anything makes me 
leery. How does one remove the file and all the links without getting 
into trouble. Thank You Walt. This will be my second choice if moving 
to TCP/IP does not do the trick.

	Anyone have an opinion on which method is the "route" to go. 
Both maybe?

	Andrew
