You can’t find or can’t open icons needed to set up file sharing.
m One or more icons may be in the wrong place. Make sure that the Sharing
Setup icon is in the Control Panels folder, and that the File Sharing
Extension file, the Network Extension file, and the AppleShare file are in
the Extensions folder. (Both folders are inside the System Folder.)
m Some network software may not be installed. Use the Installer to custom
install the appropriate network software. See Appendix A for help using
the Installer.
The shared disk you want to connect to does not appear in the Chooser window.
m AppleTalk must be active before you can use a shared disk. Make sure that
AppleTalk is active in the Chooser.
m If your network has zones, the shared disk you want may not be in the
currently selected zone. Make sure the correct zone is selected.
m The computer that the disk is on must be turned on before the disk can be
shared. Make sure that computer is on and that it has file sharing turned
on.
You can’t open a shared disk or folder.
m You may not have the access privileges needed to use the disk or folder.
Ask the network administrator or the owner of the shared item to give you
access.

open the shared disk or folder. Check with the owner of the item to make
sure you are entering your name and password correctly, and try again.

m Make sure that your computer is turned on, file sharing is turned on for
both computers, you have the correct access privileges, and you entered
your name and password correctly.
