I have recently installed an Asante MacCon SEET Ethernet card into my Mac SE. The idea is to get the SE onto the Internet through my broadband router (with the eventual aim of turning it into a webserver!).
The link integrity light comes on fine, on the card and the dumb 10meg hub, so I assume that the hardware part has gone ok.
When I install the Asante drivers it wants to install Appletalk and the Asante SE PDS software, which sounds fair enough to me. After installing that I then install MacTCP 1.1 from the same floppy.
That sounds like an old installer disk. MacTCP 1.1 dates back to 1993 or so and it doesn't work reliably with System 7.1 and later. I suggest getting Apple's Network Software Installer 1.5.1 to install the most recent AppleTalk drivers and make sure that you can connect to an AppleShare sever on your local network. Then install MacTCP 2.0.6 (there are lots of copies around) and configure it as before (Ethernet NOT EtherTalk) using a static IP address, gateway and your ISP's DNS servers.
There aren't a lot of network diagnostic tools for a 68000 compact but there's an old MacPing implementation that Apple used to distribute. NCSA Telnet is also pretty handy for network testing.
