Quite possibly...  Any idea which OS it's using?  If it's
B-7.0.1Psomethingorother, you can download B-7.0.1 (not Performa
variants) from Apple's web site (http://www.apple.com) if you like; make
sure you keep PC Exchange and all the other control panels and
extensions you've actually *got*, because some of them only came with
the Performa versions of the OS.

System B-7.0.1 on my Plus has the following extensions:

* 
Disinfectant INIT
* Aladdin
AppleShare
* Click, there it is!
* Dragging Enabler
* DW Series 6.0.3 (AT)
File Sharing Extension
Finder Help
* HP Background
* HP PrintMonitor
ImageWriter
LaserWriter 8
* Macintosh Drag and Drop
Network Extension
* StuffIt Engine
System 7 Tuner
* Thread Manager 2.1

The lines marked with a * are extensions (or folder, in the case of
Aladdin) that didn't come with the OS.

And System B-7.1P5 on my Performa 475 (I'm using 7.6.1 on it at the
moment, but I keep 7.1 on the internal HDD `just in case') has these
extensions - the only extra is the D2 CD Init for my external non-Apple
CD-ROM

Apple CD-ROM
Apple Modem Tool
Apple Photo Access
AppleShare
Audio CD Access
Claris Kermit Tool
* D2 CD Init
File Sharing Extension
Finder Help
Foreign File Access
High Sierra File Access
ImageWriter
ISO 9660 File Access
LaserWriter
LaserWriter 300
Network Extension
Personal LW LS
Printer Share
PrintMonitor
QuickTime
QuickTime Musical Instruments
Serial Tool
Speech Manager
StyleWriter
StyleWriter II
System Update
Text Tool
TTY Tool
VT102 Tool
XMODEM Tool

Fair nuff - it seems you need:

AppleShare
Network Extension
File Sharing Extension

in the extensions folder for AppleTalk to work fully.  If you're missing
these (and the Sharing Setup and File Sharing Monitor control panels),
that's the problem.

If you like (and you're using System B-7.1Pwhatever) I could email you
the missing bits.

btw, you might find the Classic Macs mailing list a useful source of
