Just go into chooser, and click on the button for 'Server IP Address'.
Enter either a name or ip numeric address. Note, the server has to be
running ASIP or file sharing from 8.6 or higher as well.
As others have said it doesn't enable zones, but you can at least get to
stuff.
That said, we've not been too inconvenienced by this, all machines in
our building can see each other, and the ones in the other buildings are
reachable via the IP option.
All our networked printers have been using LPR over TCP/IP for quite a
while, so that was never a problem.
Appletalk over IP isn't much, if at all faster than Ethertalk, at least
not so I noticed.
