Permanently ejecting networked drives
« on: January 16, 2021, 07:51:43 PM »
I made a remote connection from OS 9.2.2 to an OSX 10.5 machine to transfer files. Now I want to disable that on the OS 9.2.2 machine. But if I don't have the OSX 10.5 machine on and connected the OS 9.2.2 machine hangs trying to connect. Even if I trash network drives it will still try to connect and hang on the next boot. As soon as I allow the OSX 10.5 machine to connect the OS 9.2.2 will finish booting. I am pretty sure there are some preference files I need to delete. The last time I needed to do this was 10 years ago and I don't remember. I'm pretty sure the answer is buried somewhere on this page, I just can't find it. http://www.applefool.com/se30/

Very nice comprehensive page !

If you search for «• System hangs before loading control panels», you will find a small issue section when it is suggested to boo with extensions disabled (with shift) and to delete 2 configuration files. I cannot comment if it is exactly what you need but it sounds like what you are looking for.
Ti 1 GHz / 1 GB / FW SSD / Airport Extreme PCMCIA (triple boot)
Alu 12 1.5GHz / 1.5 GB / 256 GB mSata SSD (dual boot for now)

It sounds like you checked the box which makes it connect during boot.

I think the file you need to delete is Appleshare Prep.

Someone in the FB group found the solution.
I deleted the shortcuts that were in System Folder >Servers and that did it.
