Alex and Ken: I did check all the physical connections, and they were fine. And again, as I mentioned in my original post, the machine reports being connected to ethernet, and gets a valid IP address, and "sees" the other Mac on the network.
Also, the appropriate link and activity lights come on on the switch when the Mac is started. The mac is getting the valid IP from the router. If it is a network config problem, then why do the other machines (B&W G3, windows boxen) connected to the same router via the same switch have no problem connecting? And how would I fix this?
