A 5400 has no built-in ethernet in the sense of having a controller chip on the motherboard; it's either a card in the proprietary CS II slot, or the PCI slot. Check to see if you have the relevant Apple extensions, or if it's a 3rd-party card, you may need the manufacturer's drivers. ~~ Bill Art page: <http://geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/> -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
