Used Product For: 6-12 months

IF you have W98 machines on your LAN, this update will break legacy systems' ability to connect. After contacting Apple, they apologized because 'it was something they couldn't test for since it was from a third party source'...

Excuse me, if you release a product, charge a grand for it and maintain it, you better be aware of what your upgrades DO!

Apple @#8%ed me royally with this one.

WARNING: 10.4.6 - Kent Durvin

I had a similar problem. I have an antique engraver running DOS 6.2.1. The only way to get it to work was to open the share to all users, and connect as guest. It looks like the security was tightened i9n some way that made it hard for old clients to connect.
I agree that Apple claiming it was "third party software" is irrelevant, because they claim that this server will work with those clients.
