A curious problem has arisen on my home network:
I can see the den G3 (OS 8.6) in the Chooser my office G3 (OS 9.1) but I cannot see my office G3 in the Chooser of the den G3!
I have unplugged and reinserted the connector (the den G3 has no trouble getting onto the net, which connects over the same ethernet cable - FWIW, I am posting this from the den Mac), zapped the PRAM, and rebooted until I am blue in the face.
Any ideas about why ATalk should suddenly become a one-way street? It's been working flawlessly for several years, and I have made no changes to either computer that could conceivably affect the ATalk interaction.
TIA,

While I was composing my post, I got ta thinkin' 'bout other things I might try, such as trashing various prefs, which I then did (after reboot, no change), but I had seen the FileSharing prefs and thought 'what if somehow FileSharing has gotten disabled on the office Mac?' and when I went to check, that was exactly what had happened!
Enabled FileSharing, and all is well on the BearFamily Network once again!
