I've done pretty much the same thing. (A schematic of my network is at
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/~korpela/network.gif ) Unfortunately, I
have a 140GB SNAP server and PC with multigigabyte drives using PC MacLAN on
the ethernet. If either of these in on the network (the default condition)
the //gs hangs in the chooser. I assume it's because of some filesystem
size limit inherent in the //gs implementation of AFP. Anyone know of a
work around? I'd really like to back up the SCSI drive on the //gs to the
SNAP server. Some day in my copious spare time, I'll pull out a
debugger....
