Maybe I'm wrong but it seems that with the chooser of MacOS 8, if
you want to connect to an IP AFP server you have to enter its address
instead of choosing it in the proposed list as we do with AppleTalk based
AFP. This is far from being user friendly for almost all of my users, even
if we can make an alias of the server later and drop it on the desk. Happy
spring !
