AppleTalk did not cut it

[bbaliner]

Here's what happened:

I was creating Multiple Users accounts on Mac 9 machine, and when I was done, I logged on as one of the users. When I tried to access File Maker Server, I couldn't even see it on the network.

I had to mannually create a new file in File Maker, go to preferences and swith the protocol to TCP/IP (Somehow by default it got switched to AppleTalk). Only then did I see the server in Hosts window.

Question: Should it matter if my protocol is AppleTalk? I should be able to access the server with either protocol, should I not?

Thanks in advance
