we are not talking about the same thing. btw "stupefy" means something other then how u are using it here.
to be stupefyed is to be in a state of amazement.. not to make another look stupid.. which is ALSO *NOT* what im trying to do here.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/stupefyingim trying to solve the problems to have a resource to figure out what can be done and how.
so please.. give me a break.. insinuating that my intention is to make u look stupid. that would be a cruel + stupid intention on my part
and quite simply im not capable of being that small minded, my goal is to benefit myself + aswell to benefit others.. 100% of the time.
to clarify, i was talking about using AFP to connect to another interim machine, to use as a go between, (which is how im using this currently, on both my windows, mac os x + mac os 9 machines i have my fileserver mounted and it works beautifully) which is why i mentioned to you WD my live book hard drive, or NAS4FREE operating system to run on a pc (you mentioned doing this with a dell + 2 SAS drive)
the issue of connecting to mac os 9 file sharing is NOT what im talking about, although it was mentioned yes.
this is a seperate AFP issue.. and i thought this would be clear to you even as i mentioned the 2ndary issue of mac os 9 file sharing
in my last "as an aside" comment
im quite sure thers a way to get afp configured to work even with mac os 9 properly given all of the properties in the preferences
but i realize english is not your first language.. so its cool, "bro"
so in summary
I WAS SUGGESTING YOU USE AFP (from mavericks) WITH A NAS FILESERVER/FILESHARE (to a fileserver pc or NAS hard drive connected to network) not with mac os 9 filesharing.. this is another use of AFP yes of course but we ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS
i mentioned that i think it is possible to "get to the root of this problem" and make the mac os 9 file sharing connect work aswell.. but
this was not my suggestion. besides .. this way of connecting to mac os 9 file sharing is SERVER connecting to CLIENT .. we need the other way around..
client -> server
BUT IF YOU (OR ANYONE ELSE READING THIS THREAD) REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS WORK -> MAVERICKS CONNECTING TO MAC OS 9 FILE SHARING VIA AFP I SUGGEST INVESTIGATING THESE METHODS IN THIS ARTICLE:
Connecting to legacy AFP servicesLearn how to enable legacy authentication methods for the AFP client in OS X Lion or later, so that you can connect to older AFP servers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT200160?viewlocale=en_USi have a hunch + strong belief that it is possible to make it work.. and that these are hidden settings that can be changed..
once educated on how to do so
