> Clark ...MacTCP doesn't load until some program starts it up. Until MacTCP loads there will be no response to pings.
I was pinging on the Mac side with MacPing while simultaneously pinging on the W2K side (using the ping command from the prompt). Wouldn't MacPing be enough to kick-start MacTCP? > Clark ...Try posting your MacTCP settings and the settings for your W2K box too. You might have a mismatch in your IP / mask settings. The Windows box is set to request an IP address (from the Linksys gateway @ 192.168.1.1). Ipconfig reveals the following: IP Address - 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server - 192.168.1.1 DNS1 - 216.148.227.68 DNS1 - 204.127.202.4 The SE/30 is set to the following using MacTCP v2.06 : AppleTalk is "Active" Obtain Address is "Manually" Routing Information is: Gateway - 192.168.1.1 IP Address Section: Class C, Address - 192.168.1.12 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Net: 12625921 (Lock not checked) Subnet: 0 (Lock not checked) Node: 12 (Lock not checked) Domain Name Server Information section: DNS1 - 216.148.227.68 (default set) DNS2 - 204.127.202.4 I have tried these settings using both the EtherTalk & the Ethernet icons alternately in MacTCP (and rebooting between choices: note that I've restarted when I've changed anything). I won't be able to try the different hub until I get home from work tonight. Thanks again for all the suggestions. ------- Brandon -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
