m There may be a problem with some of the information your computer
uses to start up file sharing. Follow these steps in order until the problem
is solved:
1. Open the Sharing Setup control panel and enter new information in the
Owner section. Then try again to turn on file sharing.
2. Remove the File Sharing folder from the Preferences folder (inside
the System Folder). Then restart the computer and try to turn on
file sharing.
3. Reset the PRAM. Afterward, make sure to turn AppleTalk back on and
select the correct network type in the Network control panel. (For
instructions, see “Resetting the Parameter RAM” in the section
“Problems Starting Up the Computer” earlier in this chapter.)
4. Remove the Users & Groups data file from the Preferences folder
(inside the System Folder). Restart the computer.
5. Reinstall system software. (See “Reinstalling System Software” in
Chapter 7.)
