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.)

n 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.

the disk can be shared. Make sure that computer is on and
that it has file sharing turned on.
