Just to be sure my non-10.5 Macs weren’t trying to initiate AFP connections over AppleTalk (because AppleTalk is enabled for printing to my venerable HP LaserJet 5MP), I turned AT off and checked again. Still no luck. However, you seemed to have worked some magic with my network gremlins :) , because if I set the firewall to either the user-managed list of services or disable it completely, connecting to the 10.5 Mac is suddenly working for the first time in months. I’m not sure what changed, but at least I can share that volume now! I still think that when I have “Only allow essential services” selected and file sharing enabled, AFP should Just Work™ just like iChat does with that setting, but right now I’m happy just to have it working at all. :-) val1984, long time no see :)

In 10.4 and newer versions, AppleTalk is no more supported. See this technote : http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461#atalk Hi Smokey,
