Hi, y'all, Still working to tune my 16 580's and 2 575's in my classroom Mac lab. Bought a 16th Mac LC580 from Foothills Technology Source. It came with a HD w/OS7.6 installed. I installed an ethernet card in the second slot from the right edge. When I attached ethernet cable to the BNC, I immediately got a yellow conflict on the hub which shut down the LAN. If I unhook the tee connector from this "new" computer, I get a good hub back. I tried three extra cards but all gave yellow/orange problem. Finally I pulled one from an old LCII, and it gave me good green.
>From there I went to AppleTalk in the Control Panels and was offered only "Connect via: Printer port or Modem Port". I looked for Network Software Selector but couldn't find it anywhere. I had previously found that switching to Open Transport gave me TCP/IP and solved a lot of problems. Yesterday I had experienced this same type problem on another "new" computer and had solved it by installing OS8.1. When I rebooted after that install, I got Ethernet offered in AppleTalk and was able to easily connect to LAN and Internet. Sooo, I initialized this HD and installed OS8.1. I rebooted fully expecting my problem to be gone. Still only Printer Port or Modem Port in AppleTalk control panel window. Please give me a direction to go. I'm getting a headache! TIA.
