My bad, I assumed you were using Ethernet. These old machines will do
Ethernet I have three 6100's on my network, you just need a AAUI
transceiver which
are available used for $5-10. Of course any other computers and
devices on your
network would also have to be Ethernet capable.
Getting back to the problem, it has been a while since I used PhoneNet, just
be sure (you most likely have done so) that AppleTalk is active in Chooser.
And depending on how your network is setup you should check your
TCP/IP Control
Panel settings as well. Oh, and also check your PhoneNet connectors and wires.
Perhaps someone else can offer more advice. Good luck -- glen
I haven't followed this thread at all--but--termination can be an
issue with PhoneNet. Surely someone has already mentioned this, but
in case they haven't...
Each PhoneNet connector needs to have both jacks filled. If there is
only one cable connected to a PhoneNet connector, then the other jack
should have a terminator installed. The terminator is just a little
telephone plug with a resistor between the yellow and black wire
terminals. I don't recall the resistance at the moment.
An unterminated PhoneNet installation usually results in the Mac at
the opposite end of the network from the unterminated end freezing up
during network operations.
Some of the Focus brand PhoneNet connectors had "automatic"
termination, but I never found it to work well, and installed the
actual terminator where needed anyway. Later the Focus boxes had a
switch on the side to turn termination on or off. The Focus boxes
were black.
