OS9 Client to Tiger Server AFP : icons “jumping”.

[idarmadi]

Due to maxed out storage, I moved a 25GB shared folder to a G4 running 10.4.11 Tiger Server.

I created a Share Point, and copy all of the files from the old server to Tiger Server via network. I reset all the permission and “apply to all enclosed items”.

Later I got report from OS 9 users. While they are able to connect, but the display of the files (especially in LIST mode) can’t seems to stand still. They keep ‘jumping’ around. I tried to sort file name, but it didn’t work. At some point, a file name will appeared twice and then disappeared again. Files opened okay, it just annoying to open a folder with 500 files, and the icons kept moving.

Did anyone ever experience this kind of weird problem?

If I don’t explain the problem clearly, I’ll try to screen capture and post it online.

Please advice.

TIA
