Sometime ago, my Appletalk stopped working on my Powerbook but I could still Connect to Server to other Apple computers in the office using Connect to Server and typing afp://<computername> or by browsing the Network and seeing the computers listed in the network. However, other computers couldn't use Appletalk to connect to my Powerbook.
Now, I can't "Connect to Server" to any other computers in the office except for one that I know the exact IP address. I can't browse the network either; it won't list any computers.
When I click on the address of a computer in the "Connect to Server" window such as afp://<computername> (listed in the Favorite Servers box), it tries to connect and then says "Connection failed ... the server may not exist and is not operational at this time."
I don't get any of these problems when I try to connect to computers in the office with any other computer, including another Powerbook via wifi, several Powermacs via ethernet, and even a Gateway with XP via wifi. I don't recall doing anything that broke this. Appletalk is enabled on all Apple computers. All Macs run 10.3.9 or 10.4.9. My Powerbook runs 10.4.9.
I used Terminal to ping the other computers using the <computername>.local address format and it works.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks!
