Jack,

Do you have AppleTalk turned on in the Services pane of Directory 
Access? Sorry, if this is an insult to your intelligence, but that is 
what it sounds like you are experiencing.

/Applications/Utilities/Directory Access

Panther does not have it on by default. You have to turn it on or you 
will not see OS 9 Sharers from 10.3.

Again, apologies if I am telling you something you already know and did.

I thought that FMP files should not be shared, but only hosted (TCP-IP 
or whatever your network runs) to work properly. You are an FMP guy. I 
can't help but think I am misunderstanding your words, but I have 
reread them several times. Surely you did not mean to say that?

Either that or I am about to learn something new. That would be even 
better!

j.
