Re: AppleTalk to Ethernet bridge software for Mac?



I'm just at this stage myself, and I have installed Apple's LocalTalk Bridge
software.
I am not certain what LocalTalk Bridge can do, supposedly I can see stuff on
the ethernet side from the LocalTalk side.
Would I, for example, be able to use a printer or CD-ROM connected on my PC
from any Mac or GS on the AppleTalk side ? Is this what it's for ?
Also can I see stuff the other way. ie can I use my AppleTalk ImageWriterII
from my PC through the LocalTalk brige, or is it only one way ?
Currently I have the printer port connected to a printer, the modem port set
as AppleTalk and connected, and the ethernet card is connected to the
ThinNet. The problem I'm having at the moment, is the printer busy light is
flashing like the printer is receiving data, and I can't print. This only
happened after I added LocalTalk bridge to my Mac. I suspect it is set up
wrong somehow.
