Just a thought. Are you using the onboard ethernet or an add on pci
card?
Using on board? Maybe the port got fried.
Using a pci card? Did you install the drivers for it?
Have you tried a cheap hub with 2 straight ethernet cables?
Just starting with the basics.

Is there some kind of trick to make Ethernet active on a beige G3/333

cable.
However, when I try to make Ethernet active in the AppleTalk window, I
get the
following error message:
"An error occurred attempting to use Ethernet. Make sure your Ethernet
connections are correct."
This computer was previously used in an office setting where it was
networked
to other computers. However, both hard drives on it (one SCSI, the
other IDE)
have been reformatted and a clean copy of OS9 installed on each. I get
the
same Ethernet error message no matter which drive I use as the startup
disk.
Everything is fine on the 9600 end. I know the crossover cable is
good, but I
get the error message on the G3 whether the cable is plugged in to the
Ethernet port or not.
