I've done pretty much the same thing. (A
schematic of my network is at
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/~korpela/network.gif ) Unfortunately, I
have a 140GB SNAP server and PC with multigigabyte drives using PC MacLAN on
the ethernet. If either of these in on the network (the default condition)
the //gs hangs in the chooser. I assume it's because of some filesystem
size limit inherent in the //gs implementation of AFP. Anyone know of a
work around? I'd really like to back up the SCSI drive on the //gs to the
SNAP server. Some day in my copious spare time, I'll pull out a
debugger....
About the only thing I can think of is creating a separate zone to keep the
"naughty" PC and SNAP systems in their own little private hell that others
can get to, that the IIgs doesn't see by default. (I assume all your systems
are currently in one large AppleTalk zone ... ?) At least that gets it
on the network, even if it can't access the SNAP. Perhaps an intermediary
could accept data from it and pass it on to the SNAP on its behalf.
