The Powerbook list would be a better place to ask. No, LocalTalk Bridge doesn't do anything to TCP/IP. It will move MacIP packets across from LocalTalk to EtherTalk but they are still in MacIP form. It takes a router to move them on to Ethernet IP. IPNetRouter and hardware routers can do this. The easiest way is to get a 10BaseT PC Card for it. It needs a Mac driver so most of the cards out there DON'T work on a Mac. Global Village, Asante, Farallon, MacSense and Kingston are brands that I know of that have Mac Drivers. I use a Kingston card on my 5300c. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
