The AppleTalk protocol comes with your system software. You set it to Ethernet with the AppleTalk (or Network) control panel. Then you use the Chooser to find AppleTalk file servers and printers. This is the easiest way to check out ethernet hardware (such as your card), and share files and printers, if you have a network with at least one other Mac. For your SE, the TCP/IP protocol is something you add to your system with the MacTCP control panel. Later versions of the MacOS have this protocol built-in, called Open Transport, but MacTCP is the only way to get it on an SE. If your network assigns IP addresses dynamically (DHCP), you may have trouble getting MacTCP to work with it. I would check out the various System 6 help sites for more info about finding and using MacTCP. Bryan Kattwinkel <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
