Ideally, all you needed to do was use the ethernet extension from OS 9.1 in your 9.2.2 installation. There would be several ways to do this. One would be to using TomeViewer to extract the OS 9.1 ethernet extension from an installation CD or the 9.1 Update from Apple. Then you'd remove the 9.2.2 ethernet extension from the extensions folder and replace it with the one from 9.1. That should have been enough. You may want to upgrade again, but this time keep a copy of the working OS 9 Ethernet extension somewhere, and replace the one that doesn't work with the one that works. This was a problem with many extensions on this generation of Mac. For example, the 9.2 updates ruined the Beige G3's AV personality card function unless you downgraded several ATI extensions. I've never seen an individually downgraded extension that didn't load and work properly, so I'm confident the single ethernet extension would solve your issue. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
