TOPIC

Under some circumstances, MAE at startup may report that another host with the same name is already on the network. Changing the host name in the Network control panel does not prevent this message. What is wrong?

DISCUSSION

AFP (AppleTalk Filing Protocol) server software for UNIX systems like KAShare, KIP/CAP, Ushare, and so on may be causing what you report. For example, KAShare modifies the UNIX kernel to support AppleTalk, as MAE does; similar AFP UNIX server packages may have conflicts as well. The Famous Apple!
