However now that the ethernet issue is on it's way to being resolved I want to further explore a different problem. Like I said before my clock keeps time fine but for some reason my views setting and mouse speed setting do not seem to keep when I restart. Could I need to replace the PRAM battery? Perhaps I should try reseting the PRAM? Also, I just recently connected an external SCSI disk and now when I start up I get the happy face, and then it resets, then it makes a noise faintly like a beep but not quite, then resets back to the happy face. If I turn the external drive off it boots normally. The internal drive is SCSI ID 0 and the external drive is set to SCSI ID 5. The external drive is terminated, but I am not sure if the internal one is. I'll mess around and see what I can find but does anyone have any advice on fixing these two problems?

Now, after it being packed up for a while, it won't boot with both cards plugged into the PDS slot. If I pull out the ethernet card, everything works fine. It seems like it's not getting enough juice through the PDS to power both cards.
Most likely the capacitors on the logic board have been weakening with
age, and have now passed a threshold where the board cannot function with
all the power drain from all those add-on cards. You might try cleaning
around the logic board caps with iso alcohol.

I have a similar problem with my SE/30 running System 7.1.1...
Sounds like a completely different problem to me. Your Mac still works; you just can't get ethernet going.
First, it is much easier to troubleshoot Mac ethernet hardware with the AppleTalk protocol. Once AppleTalk is running you can mess around with the tricky TCP settings.
Second, I wouldn't recommend MacTCP unless you have to use it, maybe if you were running System 6 or something. The TCP stack you should use is called Open Transport, and you load it into System 7 by installing Open Transport 1.1 and then upgrading it to 1.2.
Does MacTCP detect the network card when it displays an ethernet option or does it just detect that the driver is installed?
In most cases the option is available only when hardware is detected. In
the Network (or AppleTalk) control panel, you can then try to select it,
and if there is no physical wire or nothing on the other end of the wire
you will get an error.
Does anyone know of a freeware ping client?
MacTCP Ping was provided with Apple's MacTCP installer 2.0.2. MacPing, written by Dartmouth, was distributed with Apple's Internet Connection Kit 1.1.1.
Is your network by any chance 100BaseT or 10/100? The Asante is definitely 10BaseT only, and your hub or switch might not be able to figure that out. You can buffer it with a 10BaseT hub; this has helped some old Macs.
