I have a similar question about networking older macs. I have a centris 650 running system 7.5.3 hooked up to ethernet via a Shiva Etherport II. I installed the drivers off www.macdrivermuseum.com for the card. I am using open transport, whatever version comes with 7.5.3 and set my IP and gw info, but, for some reason I cannot connect to my network, I cannot ping the computer. Ruling out the possibility that the network card is busted, why would the card not connect? One strange thing to note is that I am actually connected via coax, not 10basedT, because that is the type of networking I use in my house. Termination and other coax related issues are ruled out because the rest of my network runs fine. Any advice that you could give would be much appreciated.
