That is weird, I installed a new Netfinity server last week at a
client site, and all machines mount the Server IP at startup. Best to
check your configuration, I have a had that happen to me before, and
it was the hostname not being set properly. I called the machine
'hellokitty', but didn't set up a domain. I used a dummy domain
'.enet.local' to give me 'hellokitty.enet.local'. That fixed it.

It does. Check above.

If you use MacOS 8.6 and above, the icon has a globe for IP
connections and no globe for appletalk. This has been in for a while
now.
Have fun
