Hello,
My iMac G5 running 10.3.9 is hooked up to a router (a D-Link DI-604). My home network also comprises an old iMac rev. B running OS 9 (plugged in the same router).
The revB has aliases on its desktop linked to key folders on the G5's hard drive. All of a sudden today, those aliases don't work because "the original item couldn't be found". Trying to connect to the G5 through OS 9's Network Browser produced a similar error message.
Don't worry, this IS about 10.3.9. Wondering what was going on (everything was working fine yesterday), I opened the G5's 10.3.9 System Preferences > Network, and found out that the File Sharing Service was deactivated. What?!? And if I click on the checkbox to activate it, it briefly switches from "gray empty" to "blue w/ check" and then reverts to "gray empty." Clicking on the "Launch" button (or is it "Activate"? I have the French Canadian version installed and the button is named "Demarrer") does nothing at all.
All the other services are behaving normally (checkboxes and "Launch/Activate" button).
What is going on? Please help me figure this one out.
