It should be on TPL - the cable modem requires a good link signal. Make sure that the modem is showing a "valid PC link" -- could be called just about ANYTHING. I'm using 7.5.5 and OT 1.1 (yea, yea, I should hack 1.2 to work but....) as well as a Comcast cable modem (albeit beyond several servers and firewalls)... The bus error could be either the driver is wrong/not loaded (see later response re: driver) OR that the DHCP didn't work and OT is messed up when it tries to go out with no address -- check the TCP/IP control panel to verify an IP address.

I posted this earlier, but got no response. I'm still hoping someone out there can help. I installed an Asante Ethernet card in my SE/30 but it's been crashing whenever I try to access the internet through a cable modem. I've tried MacWeb and iCab and I get the same bus error when I type in a web address. I'm running System 7.5.5 and used the network selection tool to pick OT, then rebooted. I configured TCP/IP to "Ethernet" and "Using DHCP" (per Comcast's instructions). I haven't installed any other networking software or drivers other than what comes with the OS. The Asante card has a 3 position switch: TPL, TPN and TK. I belive the TK position is for the AAUI connector, and TPL stands for Link Integrity and TPN is No Link Integrity. I thought the switch should be in the TPN position, but the light on the modem (which shows it's connected to a computer) only comes on when the switch is in the TPL position. So I'm thinking that's the correct position. Does anyone have any pointers for me? Thanks in advance for your help. -js __ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
