>It is helpful to know that your GV Modem/Ethernet PC Card works with >ethernet. When I attempt to use ethernet I always receive the same error >message after attempting to select alternate ethernet. "An error >occurred attempting to use Alternate Ethernet" "Alternate Ethernet" is a device name that used to appear in the bad old days, but not what you should be using for your PC card. It refers to a different driver architecture which probably won't work at all under more recent versions of Open Transport (such as those bundled with OS 8.5-9.0). I suspect you have a software problem, nothing more. >GV Platimum Pro Enabler 1.0.7 >PC Macr Multifunction Update 1.0 >Global Village PC Card 2.5.9c >GV Platimum Enabler 1.0.7 >GV PC Card Ethernet 3.0.2 The only extensions you actually need are the GV Platinum Pro Enabler (enables the dual-function PC card) and GV PC Card Ethernet (the actual ethernet driver for the device in these cards). The GV 56k Combo Enabler file(s) are equivalent to the Platinum Pro Enabler for people who have that card instead (the ethernet driver is the same). The ethernet driver I currently have is 3.0.3, which I believe came with the last update (the one required for OS 9), but which may be required for 8.6. You can certainly lose the Platinum Enabler (which isn't being used) and the Multifunction Update (which is rolled into the system). As a side note, you don't actually need any extensions at all for the modem half of the card (or for any modem card), though you do if you want to use the GV software for sending or receiving faxes. >Apple Enet 530,399 bytes 2.3 ndrv cfrg You don't need this file unless you're using a Mac with a bundled Apple ethernet device (which the 2400 doesn't have). It won't cause any trouble beyond slowing your boot time by a small fraction, but it does no good either. >I'm not certain why I have this one: > >PowerBook 3400/G3 Modem 40,719 bytes 1.0.1 ndrv argn Because the OS installer script isn't very smart, and no one bothered to tell it the difference between your 2400 and a 3400. It can go; same comments as above. >BTW, is there anywhere you have "Alternate Ethernet" selected? Seems I saw >that extension once a long time ago. There was never an Alternate Ethernet extension - rather, it was a generic name for ethernet drivers that presented through a now-outmoded OS interface. The new driver interface (which is what "ndrv" stands for) will give each device its own name in the control panel pop-up. This all has to do with the switch from "classic" networking to Open Transport, in case you're wondering. -- Marc Sira | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If you can't play with words, what good are they?" ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
