FOLLOWUP (and conclusion): Adding a simple 10BaseT-only hub between the card and the switch didn't work either.
No matter, as it turned out the problem was simply that I was using MacTCP v2.06 with AppleTalk v57.x.x (can't recall the exact rev. number, and I just turned of the SE/30). I came across a reference somewhere while googling the problem (I think it was on the Intel/Daynaport legacy site) that clearly stated that MacTCP v2.06 had to be used with AppleTalk v58 (or greater). After downloading (from the Apple FTP site) and installing Network Installer v5.1.5 (again, the rev. number is to the best of my memory, and it's late, and I'm very tired) which includes AppleTalk v58.x, everything worked just fine. (If you're using an older Asante card, the utility that comes in a utility folder on their 5.1.6?? installer is really quite, quite useful btw: it's available as a free download on the Asante site.) There was a copy of Netscape 2.0 on an old Apple Internet Connection Kit CD I had (I'd purchased this in 1995 or so), and I was able to surf several sites quite successfully (surprisingly so, considering the hardware I'm using). So, thanks for all your help .... ------- Brandon -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
