Hoping someone will visit Poodle Palace and drop a greeting that will trigger the Blink camera I've got watching my monitor.

@dldnh Just tried to visit but I'm afraid I cannot see any AppleShare in Chooser.

@fergycool Hmm thanks for letting me know, I'll have to figure out what I broke.

Restarting file sharing definitely triggered the monitor watcher, but did it fix file sharing? 🤞

@dldnh I'll check shortly! I did see your shares later on Mac OS 9 (still not on 7.5). But everytime I tried to connect I saw an “appletalk" error.

@dldnh Just tried. This is from a G4 Mac Mini running Mac OS 9. It's connected via ethernet, but Appletalk (over ethertalk) is working. When I connect to Poodle Palace it says “Switching to TCP/IP” then "verifying" then I get the login dialogue. When I click GUEST I see “An Appleshare system error occurred”. I will try now using a Quadra on 7.5. that is only connected via a LocalTalk cable.

@dldnh I'm afraid I do not see a share from the Quadra running 7.5. I do not know anywhere near enough about this to even suggest why that is! Unless the issue is at my end. I will restart AIR and see if anything changes!

@fergycool Thanks for trying and letting me know about the version part, maybe it's because I'm running Mac OS 9? I've fired up my SE (7.1) and hopefully that will yield better results?

@dldnh Just left a greet on your Mac SE! Funnily enough on the Quadra I only see that share, but on the Mac OS9 G4 I see three now (MackyMac, Mac SE and Poodle Palace).
