Like Appleshare 2.0 (6.n as server) or 3.0 or later running on a System 7.n or 
later?

As the SERVER? or as another client on the net with an intermediate server?

Phil, again can you do this stuff directly, ie, what am I doin WRONG?

Ok, its given:  I don't have a "seed router" in that I see only one (*) zone
and  I do not have a Gatorbox, Fastpath, or a PC running 
NT 3.n-4.0/2k server (pricey software that!).   Is that my problem?

With a GS on a localtalk link (Marsha's CDEV - which btw I am noticing what 
look like memory leaks from; folders on desktop with lines through them, icons 
scratched out etc) to a Mac running LTBridge and at least Appleshare 58 
is there any way to get to OS X WITHOUT the extra hardware?
