I am in the process of building a new section of the site filled with helpful tutorials covering different ways of using Mac OS 7.6 and Mac OS X Leopard together.

Parts I and II of the File Sharing tutorial are now available - more to follow soon.

Thanks for putting all this info in one place.  It's very helpful.  Took me quite a while to figure it all out when I tried to include Tiger in my LAN a few months ago.

Yes well I'll be slowly over time adding the rest of the articles - the missing future ones are dimmed in gray.

Hi,
I did everything on the System 7->Leopard tutorial and after choosing the shared folder on Leopard from System 7, my System 7 froze and I had to do a force restart to the computer.
Any idea what can be the reason for that?

Have you tried it a second time?

Also, what version of System 7 are you using?

I too have been having issues with my Color Classic and my iMac Core 2 Duo.  I can SERVE files just fine using Shareway IP, but I cannot connect to the iMac.  I can see the drive options, but when I try to connect to any, I get a Type 1 error.  I have tried 7.6, 7.6.1, OT 1.1.2 and 1.3, Appleshare 3.7.4 and 3.8.3.  Also deleted Desktop, TCP prefs, and Appleshare Prep.  Tried with VM off and on, as well as Ram Doubler.  Always the same error.  Any ideas?

You should be using OpenTransport 1.3 combined with AppleShare 3.8.3 with Mac OS 7.6.1.  This reflects the updates from the Important Updates pages as well as what I used when making those tutorials.  Of course using versions previous to these may result in incompatibility.

I also find QuickDraw GX, if installed, to be particularly detrimental to networking for some reason, which is why it is listed as not recommended on the installation packages explanation page.

Also, are your X systems running Leopard?  Networking between Tiger and 7.6 was always unreliable for me, but Leopard seems to have squashed such problems.

Those are all the things I can think of for now.

I use System 7.6.1 on my Color Classic with all the updates on this site and Leopard 10.5.1 on my Mac mini.
I did try it a few times, each time I tried to connect to a different shared folder on my Mac mini and the same result - Color Classic freezes and needs a force restart.
I think I have QuickDraw GX installed but I disabled all its extensions since I don't need it.
I hope this will help you in finding the problem cause.

I would be very surprised if this was a 68k issue - I only tried it on PowerPC.

I don't see why 68k would make a difference.  Has anyone gotten a 68k to work?

When I try to connect to my hard disk on my Leopard machine from my OS 7 mac the chooser quits with a message saying application unknown has unexpectedly quit with a type 1 error. I'm running OS 7.6.1 with all the updates, and am sure I followed the instructions right. Any ideas?

I have an Intel iMac ( OS 10.4.11) networked through a Linksys router to a G3 iMac (OS9.2.2 and 10.2), to a 9500 with a Sonnet G4 card (OS 9.2.2), and a Mac IIfx (OS 7.6.1).  All machines connect to any other in both directions, usually with no problems, although sometimes a glitch shows up.  Shareway IP is active on all the machines except the Intel iMac and is necessary for the Intel iMac to connect to the other machines, though the reverse works without Shareway IP.

The IIfx has OT1.1.2 and Appleshare 3.8.3, both necessary.  I sometimes get the "application unexpectedly quit" msg on the IIfx, but this entire lashup mostly just works, so I can't understand why you're having fatal problems.

Well that kills the notion of 68k being a problem.

Oddly, I've yet to have any sort of crash on 7.6.1 while networking with Leopard.

What model of Mac are you using?  So far, it looks like a Color Classic problem with me and Drumace.

Just found out that I can connect to my iMac with 10.5 by using AFP Enagage! that comes with Shareware IP.  It doesn't let you log in as the owner, like the chooser offers, but it will get you connected to shares you have manually setup in OS X.  Note:  Mine give me an error that it fails to mount the AFP URL I've typed in, but it mounts regardless.
