Make sure your TCP/IP settings are correct, you're using the ethernet port, the addressing is set correctly manual or DHCP probably, as the case may be, and that TCP/IP is turned on! If it's manual, make sure you have a unique address on your subnet. I think the Linksys can be set up to restrict access to 'known' Ethernet hardware addresses, you may have to enter the ethernet hardware address of the 8500..but you would have had to set this up so that's probably not the case. As for the computers not seeing each other via file sharing, did you make sure that Appletalk was set (or reset) to the ethernet port? it defaults to the printer port even when there's a signal on the ethernet. Finally, though I doubt its the case, the install could have had a brainfart during setup and not installed the ethernet extensions: you should have the following in your extensions folder: Apple Built-in Ethernet, Apple Enet, possibly Apple Enet DLPI Support (though I don't remember seeing that before! This is coming from a default 9.1 install on my 7600 running OSX.) Enet shim lib (ditto) and EtherTalk Phase 2. > -- Wherever you go, there you are.
