iTools' iDisk Firewall/NAT & Mac OS 7x/8x Solutions

Many readers provided a solution to using iDisk on a LAN that has a firewall. First, install AppleShare Client v3.8.5 or v3.8.6 if using an older version. Then, open the "Chooser," select "AppleShare," select "Server IP Address," type in "idisk.mac.com" and click the "Connect" button. Finally, enter your ID and password in the ensuing dialog box. It worked for me but iDisk is still very slow today. I confirmed that this procedure also works with my Macs on a network using IPNetRouter and AirPort. Using the Network Browser in Mac OS 9 also worked but was much slower.
