Sam, The ethernet solutions that I have found to work for my Duo 2300c are as follows: I have at home a Duo-Dock-II that has integral (built-in) ethernet (10-base). And I have this configuration connected to a home LAN via an autosensing/autoswitching LAN switch (then this network is connected to a Cable Modem for access to the Internet. I have a portable Apple Duo Mini-Dock (that has a SCSI port), and I connect an Asante micro EN/SC adapter (Ethernet to SCSI). This works well, as long as I do not try to connect it to certain autosensing switches, as it will not always properly negotiate connection parameters, and will fail to connect to the Internet. So between the two of these, I connect to the Internet via my Duo Dock at home, and when I am on the road, or at work, I connect via my Mini-Dock and EN/SC adapter (unless there is incompatibility with the switch/hub/router I am trying to connect to). I purchased all of the above on E-Bay at various times over the past two years. Regards, Joe Getchel ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
