No reports of problems with Public Folder 1.0 between Macs on Ethernet at 
this site.  Users of Broadcast 1.2 at this site on Ethernet though have reported NOT being able to see other Broadcast users IFF these other Ethernet users are  on the same zone. Otherwise Broadcast works fine between Macs on different Ethernet zones.
