ASU Campus AppleTalk shutdown reminder

Just a reminder that AppleTalk routing has been shutdown on the ASU Campus:

From Robin Manke-Cassidy in Central IT:

------------
Subject: Campus AppleTalk Routing Shutdown 7-12-2006

"This is a reminder that on Wednesday morning 7/12/2006., Data Communications Operations will be permanently shutting down AppleTalk routing on the ASU network. AppleTalk routing will no longer be supported on any ASU campus after that date.

Thank You."
------------

A workaround procedure from Denise Hutchinson:

------------

Here is a quick outline on how to access servers without browsing AppleTalk zones:

From a Mac running Mac OS X:
1) Bring the Finder to the front by clicking on your desktop
2) Select the Go menu
3) Select "Connect to Server"
4) In the Server Address field, enter either the dns name or IP number of the needed server. 
         For easier use in the future, you can add servers to the "Favorite Servers" list by clicking on 
         the "Plus Sign" button to the right of the Server Address field.  Then select servers from your 
         Favorites list rather than retyping in it's name each time.
5) Log in per usual

From a Mac running Mac OS 8 or 9
1) Go to the Apple menu, select Chooser
2) In the Chooser window, select the AppleShare Icon
3) Click on the "Server IP Address" button in the lower right hand corner
4) In the following window, enter either the dns name or IP number of the needed server
5) Log in per usual

If you have any questions or problems, please let me know.
