An AppleTalk zone is configured by a server to create a separate local network for devices to communicate using AppleTalk. It's not required to use AppleTalk, but if one is configured, join the same zone as devices you wish to connect with. Powered by UBB. Responsive Width: PHP: 7. Previous Thread. Next Thread.

Edit: I think the first thing to do if your card is user serviceable is check to make sure that its connecting plug is firmly in place. Joined: Aug Iowa Virtual1.

Maybe that's where the confusion is getting in. I don't need to 'use' AppleTalk, I'm trying to solve the problem that the MacBook doesn't show there is an airport card installed. It is having the issue discribed in the link above and I tried the other things. Originally Posted By: joemikeb I'd take it seriously and ask.

If two zones in two locations, each with its own router, need to communicate then each zone is given an AppleTalk name plus a third zone must be created for the network between the two routers. However, this is only used when the server itself will be a router between two networks.

It should never ben enabled when the network already has a router. A Windows server will not be able to see an AppleTalk print device on a different network because AppleTalk doesn't broadcast itself past a router.

If you have AppleTalk zones created then your server could see the AppleTalk print device. Setting up AppleTalk zones between two networks takes some expertise and shouldn't be done unless you have a business need to have Mac clients browse AppleTalk resources printers and servers on the different networks.

I suggest that you do the following: 1. Macs should print directly to printers that are on their local network. Macs on one network that need to print to a printer on another network should be set up via IP to the remote printer. Unfortunately, IP setup for a printer on any remote network is a manual process. They're not worth supporting compared to the time and effort you'll save by upgrading to a modern inexpensive printer. Hope this helps!

Oct 30, PM in response to mecklists In response to mecklists We do use IP printing to the printer, but have had trouble with the rendering of some documents and wanted to eliminate the W2k3 print drivers, thus the desire to print directly from the MAC to the printer using a native protocol Given that appletalk is broadcast and our switches do not forward it for obvious reasons , I will resume the Apple vs.

Thank you for the info. Printing directly to the printer device via IP or AppleTalk should work effectively.
