Re: getting an se/30 on the net

Find a cheapo 10baseT hub to put between the switch and the SE/30. 
Most of the older PDS ethernet cards don't do nway negotiation 
right.  Also, leave your G5 set to auto for the ethernet unless you 
can manually set the switch to match.  (And if you can, on the 
SWITCH set the SE/30's port to 10baseT half duplex.)

Subject: getting an se/30 on the net


First let me explain my setup. From out of the wall comes the 
cable modem with a wireless access point/router connected to it.

My G5 has built-in ethernet and AirPort extreme. Its internet 
access comes from the AirPort and OS X Internet Connection Sharing 
is sharing my AirPort connection with built-in ethernet. I have 
connected a Linksys switch to the G5's built-in ethernet and 
tested the Internet Connection Sharing by connecting my iBook to 
the Linksys switch and setting its ethernet to DHCP.

My SE/30 has 128MB RAM, a 2GB disk, and System 7.5.3. It also has 
what I believe is an Asante MacCon +30 PDS ethernet card. I ran 
the diagnostics on the card and it passes all tests. My 7.5.3 
install is a fresh "Easy" install. I downloaded and installed the 
Asante driver version 5.6.1.

I went to the Network control panel and selected "Ethernet"
I went to MacTCP and selected "EtherTalk"
I tried various configurations for static and dynamic and nothing 
works. My switch is 10/100, the Mac is set to auto-sense. I even 
set it to 10mbits/sec half duplex, like the Mac. I have run out of 
ideas.

Any thoughts?
