Apple Talk won't turn on

[Jimuniguy]

Hi,

I have a problem, i have a ibook which will not let me turn Apple Talk on. Each time I try, it tells me it can't be turned on and please check the network settings.

The network TCP settings are DHCP and i can surf the web etc just great, but turn on Apple Talk and it just turns itself off and tells me to connect to a Apple Talk Network.

Since it worked 3 weeks ago, I am not sure what is wrong

Help anybody?

Dear James,
Try to activate your appletalk control pannel, TCP, depends on this but is a seperate conrol pannel, if this not work check your extension folder in the system folder, and make sure its marked for loading when starting up, in the setting check if ethernet has been choosen.

Dear James,
Maybe trying to trash the appletalk preference file.
You could find it in the system folder, preference folder.
After moving the file to the trash, restart your Mac.
Wich OS are you currently using?

OS 9

I have tried trashing that, the TCP one, and even re-installing them both of the CD. Still no joy :-(

Maybe trying the following,
Look in your system folder, in the Servers folder to see if there are any server addresses in there. It sounds like your system is attempting to connect periodically. If you find any addresses in that folder, trash it (them) and restart. That should fix it
B) Try reintalling your system software as a custom install from your installer CD.
Rebuild your desktop.

If you boot from a cd, can you access appletalk??? you could try installing the os over itself as well. trash the finder. have you tried using another port???
