I am using the hotel's (Courtyard by Marriott) in-room Ethernet (yay!)...
Does Appletake HAVE to be on "Ethernet" in order for the Ethernet connection to provide service to my Powerbook?
At home I think my PMac has Appletalk on to use my cable modem connection... but on this WS I am using at hotel, after zapping the PRAM (due to a screen issue; see my previous posts!) I just noticed that Appletalk is set to the serial port...
AppleTalk and TCP/IP are two *different* networking protocols (stacks).
You use TCP/IP to talk to the Internet.
You use AppleTalk to talk to AppleShare file services and some printers.
You only need to have the one you're using active.
When you zap the PRAM, the system reverts to the default state - AppleTalk on, looking at the printer port. No big deal. You can turn it off, or set it to "remote only" (a null loopback).
