Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 23:03:58 -0800 Subject: Basic Networking From: Kathi Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... My problem so far is that when I go to the Apple Talk setup I cannot get it to select Ethernet on either of the G3's. It says that I should check my connections. I have tried the simplest connection of all by using an Ethernet cable directly from the G3 to the Apple printer. Restarted a couple of times and I could not get a connection. What am I doing wrong? I figure it has to be something really basic and simple, but like the good or bad moon, I am not getting it. Can someone help me?
Usually if you can't select ethernet in OS 9, the computer can't see the hub. So it could be that
a) your computers' ethernet circuits are bad, or
b) your ethernet cables are bad, or
c) your hub isn't working.
Since you are having trouble connecting 2 computers, it seems most likely to me that your hub is the problem. I would try a different hub or, better yet, a switch which has the same function but directs traffic only to the computer that requested it.
