Have a look at the Sharing Setup control panel - is file sharing turn on
there?

I have looked at the Problem since and I still can't find out what's the
matter. I've opened the File Sharing Control Panel and tried to turn
File Sharing on. IT WON'T WORK!!! I select the switch "START" and then a
second later I get the display " File Sharing could not be enabled ".
I've fiddled around with the User & Group Panel I can turn Program
linking on and off but not the File Sharing!

Hmm...  Sounds like a strange thingy to me.  Have you tried checking
your HDD with Disk First Aid/Norton Disk Doctor, re-building the
desktop, and zapping the PRAM (using TechTool)?

Do what you can to turn File Sharing off.
Restart with INITs disabled (hold the shift key down).
Use ResEdit or some other utility to make any of the AppleShare files
  on your boot drive visible.  They have names like 'AppleShare PDS'.
Drag them into the wastebasket.
Reboot again with the INITs disabled.
Empty the wastebasket.
Reboot again normally.
Try File Sharing again.

I've done that before...I'll try again. It's working more or less. I
have disabled the File Sharing Extension. I now don't get that stupid
message but in exchange I can't share any files anymore. Program linking
is fine. I've reinstalled the Network software from my MacOS 8.1
CD...still no luck. It has worked before without getting that message.
It's like really weird.

Finally!!! After a LOT of faffing around...aprox. 7hrs++....my G3 has
finally made it. It's up and running. I've reformatted it HFS and made
two partitions (1Gb & 3Gb). A great advantage of HFS is that I can use
Norton again. It really is a fab program, it's much much faster than
TechTool Pro 2.1.1 . After I had formatted the Disk HFS + the System
seized up again. Obviously something's the matter with that format.
Anyway..I'm glad to have HFS, because it allows me to start up from the
System CD without any problems (Before the SystemCd didn't recognize the
Harddisk).

File Sharing hasn't reported any problems until now ( I hope bloodywell
too!!), after all that reformatting.
