Not so sure about that: my PB 145/OS 7.1 Pro connects and gets with iCab at normal speed for such an oldtimer over a similar setup. However, I am using a 8150WS as blindserver and router for the LAN, the rest connects thru a 10/100 switch to this. The server is running 9.04, the other Macs (except the PB) are running 9.1. b -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
