Greetings:
I installed a new (box unopened, shrinkwrap still on, etc.) Asante MC+30IET64 card into my SE/30. The SE/30 is running System 7.5.5, 250MB HDD, 128MB RAM.
I installed the Asante drivers (EtherTalk Installer Version 5.6.1); I also installed Open Transport 1.1.2.
I have a link light on the card and on the switch that the Mac is plugged into.
I'm unable to switch to EtherTalk in the AppleTalk Control Panel ("An error occurred attempting to use Ethernet. Make sure your network connections are correct"). When I run the Asante TroubleShooter 1.9.0 I get the following results:
Memory Buffer Test: Memory Test Passed Network Interface Controller Test: NIC Transmission Failed. Transmit collided. Ping-Pong Test: NIC Transmission Failed
I think the card's toast. Does anyone have a better idea?
I don't know the specifics of that model off hand but it may have a switch to select between different media, thick or twisted pair. It would be on the back panel connector plate. There are two settings for twisted pair, TPL and TPN I think. I don't recall which is preferable but I think they both work.
Second there is a switch or jumper on the main NIC board for selecting address. Try changing this (and then reboot).
