Mac OS X Server 10.3: Mac OS 9 clients cannot mount multiple share points

Mac OS 9 users cannot mount a second sharepoint from a Mac OS X Server 10.3 computer. A software update addresses the issue.
Symptom

In Mac OS 9 you use the Chooser to connect to a Mac OS X Server 10.3 computer and mount a share point. If you subsequently use the Chooser to connect to a second share point on the same server, you expect to see a message confirming that you are already connected to the server and allowing you to choose the additional share point. Instead you see an alert that says:

"No response from the server. Please try again."

Solution

To resolve this issue, install version 3.9.4 of the AppleShare extension on the Mac OS 9 client. This version of the AppleShare extension can be found in the System Folder of a computer that has used the Classic environment in Mac OS X 10.3.

To install this extension, drag it to the System Folder of the Mac OS 9 client.

Note: This issue does no occur when connecting to a server running Mac OS X Server 10.2.8 or earlier, or when connecting to a Mac OS X computer with file sharing enabled.
