A/UX: AppleTalk Can Use Enet Port Instead of LocalTalk (8/94)


How can I make AppleTalk use the Ethernet port instead of the LocalTalk port?

AppleTalk for A/UX is configured via the /etc/appletalkrc file. The interface entry defines if you use EtherTalk or LocalTalk. Follow these steps:

1) Use AppleTalk -d to bring the AppleTalk services down.

2) Change the appletalkrc file to reflect what you want.

3) Bring the services up with appletalk -u.

4) If you're in a Finder session, you must log out and log in again to
see the changes.
