File Server for Macintosh is available over TCP/IP networks, so it can be run on a network without using the AppleTalk protocol. To use AFP over TCP/IP networks, AppleShare client version 3.7 or later must be installed on the Macintosh client.
The file server works with either AppleTalk or TCP/IP installed. When both are installed on the client and the server, the Macintosh client attempts to start a connection by using TCP/IP. If the server has multiple IP addresses, the list of all IP addresses is sent to the client.
If a user wants to browse the AppleTalk network to connect to the server, AppleTalk must be installed. If the user knows either the IP address or the Domain Name System (DNS) name, this information can be entered into the dialog box in place of selecting the server from the Chooser list. If the DNS name or the IP address is known, you do not have to run AppleTalk on the server.
